I am deffo getting a new everyday runabout between now and march, my current mk1 mondeo has now done 184k and is starting to feel very tired.
not spending much, prob a late mk2 mondeo ghia x or even an st200.

really could do with a diesel but, I want a tdci one like the wifes. but I won't borrow any money and my savings don't stretch to one.
