I know were the end of .... ooo your not going on about that ?

now, now, we don't stoop to that level on fs :laugh:

gonna get the car a little cleaner today me thinks
give it a little wash later i think

Thing is Katie.
The 3 cars I've had before Dubster, were all small:
Citroen Saxo, Fiat Panda, Fiat Seicento Sporting.
All small cars, you could see where the car ended, but with Dubster it's different.
Longer car, sit further back from the engine & no I won't buy a Booster seat Katie, as I wouldn't have any headroom.

I was able to park my insructors car when I was learning.
Think it was a Mk2b punto, so got use to short cars.

try jumping from parking a 3m long Cinq to a 5m long Mondeo one thing i've noticed, visibility in the ford for reverse parking is...ermmm......not ideal you can only see other cars roofs out the rear window once you are within 10ft, and the mirrors have huge blindspots, it's a fun challenge though

Sister's doen that before.
She drives a F*** KA, tiny car, & her BF used to drive a Mondeo, she refused to take it down to the Lake District a few years ago..... so they took her car, I don't like the KA's, Steering feels heavy, no feel in the clutch & when you do get the clutch up it shoots off.

ka's a wee bit bigger than a cinq, and the mk2 mondeo is a good bit smaller than my mk3, the rear visibility is also 20x better in the mk2 because the rear screen is curved and wraps around into the pillars and the doors cut much futher into the rear pillar meaning theres some over the shoulder vision, the mk3's screen is almost flat and lies againts pillars that could hold a small building up

mk2




compared to mk3 (ignore the stupid spoiler, thats not mine)



anyway....this is a thread about the Grande, better not go of topic, to bring it back on topic....



there, im sure nobody noticed

as for bepe...heres a comparasion pic between the standard headlight on the right and an hid clad angel eye on the left...taken with the wonders of an iphone cam in the dark.....it can only go well

I'm guessing that's the most mint example of a mk2 Mondeo you could find for that pic Mark? :laugh:

I also feel I'm to blame for the complete off tangent topic of parking. Apologies all round I think :laugh:
