    Would that be Bob Cummings with the "roadable" version?

    I am a sucker for vans. Small, very fuel effficient ones surely deserve
    a smile... Add in sexy styling and ya' gotta love this new Ford Fiesta
    van: :)

    http://pictures.topspeed.com/cars/f.../crop/200809/2009-ford-fiesta-van_1024x0w.jpg
    "Ford unveiled at the 2008 IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hanover
    the new Fiesta Van, a model based on the all-new Ford Fiesta car
    which is being launched in Europe from autumn 2008. The Van version
    will go on sale from early 2009.

    "The new Fiesta Van is available with a well balanced choice of
    engines to offering commercial customers excellent fuel economy and
    low cost of ownership.

    "Engines available include the 1.25-litre Duratec 16V petrol unit (82
    PS/60 kW), a frugal 1.4-litre Duratorq TDCi turbo diesel (68 PS/50
    kW), and a top-of the-range 1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi (90 PS/66kW)
    turbo diesel with standard closed-loop coated DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)."


    Picture this little kitten "murdered out" in flat black with 18' wheels, smoked
    lenses, dechromed, tinted windows... you could call it "Nocturnal Discharge"
