Default New Car


Got myself a tempory promotion, now in charge of Kent, so I have this rather swish Mondeo for a while, and a fuel card!

After driving it for a week, took the scoob out for its MOT today, you forget how much of a animal they are when you dont drive them everyday.

You really do appreciate them when you don't drive them every day.

Whats the Mondeo like to drive? My Focus is lovely to drive and very comfortable.

They are cracking cars to drive and put alot of the german stuff to shame. I love it when I havent drivent the scoob for a while and then get back in it. Noisey, rattles, hard ride, generally hard work to drive, but heck its fast

Dont the scoobs look old fashioned next to a new mondeo too.

I like the Mondeo's

Only thing that puts me off Ford is the price of the parts & labour price. Even with Emma's huge discounts they are more expensive than Mercedes

850 Miles from a full tank is a bit difrent too.

The clutch on the scoob feels like Im in the gym! I must say Im enjoying the scoob more now, even a short trip to Sainsburys....yes, I know, its quicker to walk, but hey...

I always thought newages were big and lardy, but the scoob looks positively match box sized compared to the Mondeo.
