Finally got a nice day to clean the Mondeo and snap some pics
Hi guys, finally got a nice day and managed to clean the Mondeo and snap a few pics after the drilled / slotted discs and Redstuff pads were fitted.
Took around 3 hours to wash n dry it and thenclean the alloys and add some tyre black, vacuum it out and clean the dash,sills door shuts etc.
Have a look and see what you think?
Thanks for lookin guys
Jim

Thanks Aquill.........glads you like it. I love it.
As you know it shares the same floorpan as the X but it manages to somehow be more spacious inside?
Loaded with plenty of toys and goes like the clappers as well as sticking to the road like sh*t to a blanket.
As I said gettin anywhere between 40mpg to 50mpg depending on how you drive it too, so its all good.
I know its not a Jag, but its still a nice car I think and very reliable too.

Thanks FJT.....Glad you like it.
I remember Aquill sayin over n over about how the fords over there aren't as good as they seem to be over here.....I really can't understand that
Thats their home turf so to speak. Maybe its just different models n designs for different markets I guess?

Jim, Its not like you to have dirt on your car
Itson your tyre in the last exterior pic
When I had a black car (MR2 Turbo) I used to add a capful of vinegar in the rinse bucket to stop any streaks after drying.
Great pics.
PS Why does everyone on your estate disappear indoors when you go out to clean the car??

Where the hell have you been? Long time no see.
Re the dirt on my car......I think you're being a bit harsh....Its gravel marks as I was reversing out the driveway....cut me some slack big guy[&:][&:]
Dunno why everyone seems to hide when I'm washing my car though, I've often wondered that myself
I do have neighbours, honestly!!

Jim I told you the ford vehicles aren't as nice here! The interiors are looking I say better than anyone else's but thats the interior. For me to love the car I must love the outside first! I wouldn't mind driving any of the new stuff ford had but I still wouldn't be ecstatic about it...I mean i'd drive a mercury mountaineer or what not but the car market for ford isn't as great, the market your way has european style and that would be extremely popular here I don't understand why ford doesn't integrate it in here? The favorite part to me is the 50mpg! Don't fear not owning a jag when you have that thing, I know I wouldn't! The looks are good, interior is good and the gas mileage is well over double that of the jag...keep your head up!

WHY can't Ford understand if they sold Fords that looked like that here I'd prolly buy one? AND i'm not even really a Ford fan. Their models sold in Europe are so awesome. Thats def a sweet ride you got there!! Our new redesigned Focus this year looks like anus over here!

Lol.........get off Caddies back you.
He's justa really nice guy and his way of speaking about everyone, not just me
Glad you like the ride guys. The Mondeo is very popular over here although the ST TDCI version is one of the rarer breeds I guess.
I remember seeing on Top Gear how the ST ( petrol version V6 ) compared to the Aston Martin Vanquish I think it was in popularity. Aston sold sumthin like 1047 in the year that Ford sold 981 of the ST's making it actually a rarer car than the aston, although some people think its common!.....lol
50mpg?......I need to have a word with the wife I think. She's been stopping n starting round about town and its fallen wayyyyy down to 46.9mpg[&:]....lol
I gave it a blast tonight and let the torque push me back into the seat so its now at 46.1mgp[&:][&:][&:]....lol
Still better than 20mpg though

What are you talking about jim? Yes we can!
I was just kidding there jim! You haven't forgotten who I am yet have you Jim? Cadi knows me enough to know I was kidding! Cadi's more than welcome to become a moderator and if he wants to get in your bed thats your call not mine! hahah...j/k guys![8D]
See jim I wasn't the only one that said that ford vehicles look much better out your way...although I think the newer focus looks better than the older one we have...

Ford has a pretty big following over here, always has done.
Many many favourites from the Capri days and the Cortina, Escort in XR3 guise, even the old sierra prior to the Mondeo.
There's more Ford dealers thatn you can shake a stick at over here bud too......so its all good for parts n servicing as well.

Finally get to see the mondeo! I guess I should thank you... I'm a little disappointed that those rotors aren't bigger...i can barely see those things behind the big rims on that Ford. [sm=smiley13.gif] I see one or two dimples only.
