On the road again…

We have a new (newer than the previous) chariot. The old Ford Mondeo was uneconomical to repair (see my earlier blog regarding the unhappy circumstances) so we splashed out £700 and bought a newer model Mondeo. Although it is lower specification (I am already missing the air-conditioning and automatic transmission), and quite tatty (dent in the door, worn trim etc.) it gets me from A to B, which is the important thing.

And it is red, and as we all know red one's go faster, after all isn't that why the paint fire engines that colour?

So you have got another Ford. Being painted red will not make it any better, it is still a Ford. I saw a Top Gear program the other day, and Clarkson put a Vauxhall Monaro (read Holden) up against a Jaguar X-type (read Ford). Guess which was the better car. Okay, i'll give you a hint, the winner came from down under!!
