Whoo hoo!! Nice buy.
But what will be the fate of the venerable Mondeo? Simply cast aside after years of faithful service? :

I will be picking the new pocket rocket up next week sometime, then I will post some pics. as for the mondeo I will be trading it in. So it is up to ford as to what happens to the mondeo. It has been a great car for the 5 years of service it gave me.

pick up the new baby on sat morning.
I will miss the mondeo it has done me well over the last 5 years and 105000 kilometers, I will have to come to terms with the fact that I could not pull off the best mondeo at small ford sunday. even though it was lol. The best time was the cruise up to lake mountain giving it all i could an it eating up the road all the way. it will be missed but after 13 years of driving it is time for retierment. Time to herald the new day, pics will be up soon. OZMONDEO R.I.P
