Nice. I don't think they are sold in the USA. Tell me more about it. I have owned Tauruses, Focuses and now a Mustang.

Well i'm not really a car freak ,but it's a 5-door, has quick clear windscreen,i opened the bonnet and the engine looks like a suitcase!! Talking of suitcases i know there is room in the boot for at least 4 suitcases, i can control all the windows from the drivers seat, there is a control on the steering wheel for the stereo, you know, one of them finger tip control ones.
It runs on unleaded petrol and goes like a bomb. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Glad to hear that you have got a new car Spickie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Good car <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> Congratulations!

Sweet wheels, Mad max is gonna have some competition...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Too right Jurak, when i took the car for the test drive i popped "Permission to land" by The darkness in the CD player and put the peddle to the metal and shot up the inner bypass around Exeter and she went like greased lightning. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

Hey make sure you keep her 'spick'and spam huh! I mean that is one nice looking automobile <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Nice set of wheels, spick. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I guess I finally have to take the big step too.

It's a decent car. But I would Prefer Renault the 5 stars on nicap most models have achieved now makes me trust Renault a lot. And The Laguna or Megane have great looks to.

I liked the Laguna as well Draggie, but it's the fastest deprietiating car in Britain <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" />...WHY?

I think we should start -This is my baby- thread about cars <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

lol
Has crossed my mind too.
But I don't care enough about cars. I like a nice car and it has to be comfortable, becouse I have to spend a lot of time in it. But it's a machine. Build to get me from one place to another.

And what would the women say? You know... the old classic that men care more about their car than they do about their wife/gf.

Well, nice car Spick - though why you would buy a north american car is beyond me - when you could buy a european....
FORD - Found on road Dead...that is what we call them over here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But, congrats all the same...

american cars suck. i like japanese cars, hondas and mazdas and such. they seem to last forever.

OK. I drive a red Ford Mustang convertible. It handles great. Nice acceleration. Looks cool. Excellent sound system. Fun to drive--unlike a boring Honda or Nissan sedan. I bought a new Nissan Sentra in the 1980s and at 69k miles it needed a valve job. The way I feel right now the next car I buy will be another Mustang convertible.

seventies american cars are just to sexeh

This Ford Mondeo was built in Britain, it maybe an American company but it's as British as i am.
