When you really need a car...

Anything'll do.
My 'ride' as of today, mindy the mondeo!


Dents anyone?
BUT for £200 its taxed til december, mot til july, and it works (Which is surely a first for me).
Tis a 2.0l Si, traction control and 'sports' suspension (Which bemuses me), A/C, electric windows and central locking!
Bad bits are the dents (not bothered), the 'guesswork' speedo (I'll probably just violate it to make it work) and a slightly loose exhaust. But it's alright, like driving a small ocean liner really.
Wierdly tis my 8th car but the 1st that isnt a nissan!

Turn to the dark side you will.........

God no. I had to double check it started earlier as I've gotten so used to a booming exhaust note! Tis rather comfy though, recaro seats I think.

\"Comfy\"............resist you must........soon a small football strip in the rear window appear will........use the force,resist this evil you must.........

a blue oval isnt just for christmas, its for auto reclaim as well....

Well it survived the baptism of fire to devon and back, I shall be journeying up to stafford to move out of my flat tomorrow (So if you get a call it's probably me broken down at the side of the road)

Recent pic showing duct tape on the rear bumper (It doesnt cover anything, I just wanted to fit in with every other mondeo)

and trying to slam it with 3 people on the back


Love this car, when I swapped my insurance over they returned £180 so it only owes me £20 top up the oil every now and again but thats it! Fast, comfortable, reliable... everything a ford shouldnt be! I havent washed it since I bought it in august, the original bird poo remains!

Ideal mate.......good cheap daily..........i know it's a bit naff in the cool stakes but it's all you need out of a car..........you'll be wearing a wife beater next with a ciggy hanging out of the extreme left corner of your mouth.......

this defines 'daily driver' must admit it is a laugh

dude thats just wrong!

however my company car is an 08 ford mondeo estate! But at least i didn't pay for it

Its brilliant, just eats up the miles (dunno how many though as cant measure it)

you mean the gauges are bust?

Yup no speedo or mile counter in all the time I've had it, dont notice the difference anymore.
