My New ST220 (and some wildlife...)

Evening all,

Just too some shots of my new arrival...what an awesome piece of kit!
Shame I didn't polish the doors properly though

Full set is here ->

And whole I was taking these shots, about 50 deer decided to roam past within about 20 feet...incredible (for us city folk anyway!)

Mondeos don't do much for me...But each to their own..

[robodonkey2005]

Not sure what you are driving Nismo, but I've had 300zx and 350z in the past (both cracking cars btw!) but the driving experience of the Mondeo isn't far off either of the Nissan I had (honest!).

It's a bit of a sleeper hit - no-one really bats an eyelid at your car (unless they are car people) but you can see off most folks at the old traffic-light Grand Prix!

Nice mate.
I had a 52 plate 4 door put 104k on it not one problem great car.
Got a ST TDci now not quite the same punch but still good.

No disrespect meant its just I've driven in Mondeos..st200 and the st24 they are not bad..but I guess like all the vectra/mondeo/avensis clan its only a specked up repmobile..
The 350z is a tad more exclusive I reckon,although thats got french parts unlike nissans of old..
Traffic lights grand prix thats an old cliche but I agree if your understated and let fly to some knob in his 50grand toy and can do it without too much effort its a fab feeling..

No disrespect?!? Why is it that when someone gets a new car and they're chuffed to bits with it, does someone have to come and rain on their parade?

[robodonkey2005]

No offence was taken fellas
Trust me, I'm taking enough heat from the mates about my transition from "interesting car bloke" to "family car bloke".
The best bit is that you can actually have fun in this 4 door saloon - I'm more than pleasantly surprised with it to tell you the truth.

Obviously just me having a sense of humour bypass then.

Rob - try them with a Quaife ATB

Looks very smart - lovely colour too. I'd love a 220 but a bit young yet. Ah well I'll have the ST TDCi till then .

The ST is a fantastic car, especially for the money they go for these days!

Nissans though, are very bland unless they have been 'spiced' by ricers! I certainly wouldn't class a 350Z as exclusive!

I'm opening a can of worms I feel..I guess these PC days a Mondeo St220
is a gem when you put it against a Toyota Preaus..

Prius..spelling crap too
