Default Newbie, well sort of anyway, But I have just bought a Ford.

Hi Guys, I've posted on passionford before and my missus already owns a ford but I have just bought one now as well and I gotta say I really love the car.

I was at the Auction house on Monday looking for a cheap run around car to save the Astra undue mileage when I spotted a white P Reg Mondeo Ghia X 2.5V6, It had loads of luxuries that just bowled me over, Electric leather seats, cruise control, air con etc etc,
I bid on the car and won it but it had no MOT or Tax, I booked it in for its MOT at 8.30 this morning (wednesday) and she sailed through so I was straight to the post office for the tax disc and then it was a journey to the car shop for the tax disc holder,

I have spent just about all of today in the car and I really do like it, Its so nice to drive and the cruise control is fantastic as it the air con.
Going over bumps is great now with the big tyres, the Astra is on 35 series tyres so I spend most of the time concentrating on pot holes and imperfection in the road which is really annoying and stresses me out when I hit them by accident, but now I can drive smoothly and in a straight line without getting stressed or headaches from concentrating on the road too much.

Theres no radio because someone has nabbed the front and its quite a rare item but other than that the car is brilliant,
I'm sure i'll be keeping it for a long time,
So now me and the missus both have fords.....
I've already posted a few questions in the tech help forum so thanks for the replies I have got,
Regards Bren
