It takes a special kind of man to order the kindly Belgians at the Ford factory to build him a very special Mondeo. One where pimptasticness (ooh a portmanteau word) takes pride of place.

Said automobile has depreciated enough for my meagre wedge of twenties to cover it; so behold: my new car! With spangly wheels and a spoiler!



Oh yes.



It may not be possible, but this angle's better.



Does your car have a spoiler?



More spoiler-ness.



Lashings of fake wood, and a cassette player.



Feel the powaahh. At least it has two litres.

Can anyone recommend decent, but cheap ish tyres for it? I'm drawn towards Toyos or Vredesteins.

Forget tyres, get a council estate to go with it.

I've got Roadstones on my car, they are a budget tyre but they seem alright to me.

Oooo, those seats look like velour - very flashwink

In all seriousness though, I would recommend some Kumho Ecsta KU31s. Found them to be very good for the price with good grip in the dry and a long life. Mk1 Mondeo is a good steer so you should be able to have plenty of fun with it driving

They do burn well those Mondeos. If the fan switch gets a bit temperamental, worth getting it replaced...

Thanks for the comments, glad you like it.

I am from Essex, but you'll have realised that by now.

Would never have guessed biggrin

Wish I had some pictures of my old Ghia X mondeo - no spoiler, but it did have a nice set of wheels/tyres, as well as a totally brutish TURBOCHARGED diesel lump up front. Well, as brutish as sub 90bhp in a tank can be biggrin
