I've a Ford Mondeo estate Ghia X (need it for the kids) 2.0L, 2003.

Don't laugh, it's got 17" Alloys, full leather interior, cruise control and much, much more.. and it's fast... VERY fast.

Not as nice as TSC's BMW mind you... ;D

Your V8 growl sounds so much nicer than my poor Ford whine..

Or did the underground car park make it sound like that.. or was it the beer?

Currently running a '06 Ford Focus 2.0 ghia saloon.

Although some of my recent cars were much nicer! Ive had a mondeo 2.0 ghia X estate, with all the gizmos, nice motor if lacking a little oomph. Also had a V6 mondeo ST24 saloon - that was a nice car! And 2 mondeo 2.0 Si saloons - Last year i sold my mitsubishi evo IV - rocket ship, but it did like the V-power! Also had 2 BMW 528i's - great fun in the wet and sounded awesome. I wont mention the granada 2.0 Ghia, nor the Rover 216 S!

it's a fairly old one in all fairness.
I doubt it has half its original 129 ponys still in the stable under the hood. And the rear suspension bushes need replacing rather urgently, although it is good fun in the rain. ;) ;D
