Some interesting reading from Evo magazine, the author Richard Porter believes the Zetec-S is better than the ST, if you read the initial review of the ST he is not overly impressed with the ST at all.

The "Zetec-S" in the UK is pretty much our Zetec model, they get various engine sizes available though, 1.25, 1.4 and the 1.6, we of course only get the 1.6......thank goodness!!

Oh dude, ditto! I was driving along this road and all of a sudden, everything went SILENT! And you know that feeling of falling off a cliff? I thought the engine just had a heart attack and died! But after 3-4 seconds... i realized tha im travelling on a brand new road (and bloody good one, too!). From that moment I just realized how crap Australian roads are. We need Autobahns.

Well we have the Sturt Highway, there are parts of that with no speed limit.

A dream of mine is to cruise the Autobahn in an Aston Martin V8 Vanquish...

^^^

speaking of Aston Martin. Jeremy Clarkson once tried playing Gran Turismo 4 just to compare virtual Laguna seca with the real one. When it comes to selecting cars he got up to the DB9 and said "oh that's not a race car, that's pornography"

I dunno if u remember that episode... it's on YouTube somewhere (just search for Top Gear NSX or Laguna Seca).
