2000 Mercury Grand Marquis

[V8Ford]

Looks really clean - the last of the proper full-sized Yank saloons.

Its in the firms car park at the mo. The other cars start at the front bumper and finish by the back of my driver's seat

[vrooom]

Wow, that is so cool.

Just change your name to:
a/ CANNON
b/ Huggy Bear


Conference me in to your annual insurance quote calls.

I'd love to hear the Indian calls centres deal with this.

"Hello Mr ****** My name is Hamish.. You are want a quote on a Grand what now?"

Thats one absolutely awesome piece of kit, I have never seen one over here (Sweden) and she's a big girl. Thought my e38 swb was large, thats almost 40 cm longer and a full 10 cm wider than that

I had the pleasure of driving one of these in the US a few years ago, and I really liked it. Great looking condition too.

[croyde]

Very busy on the Mile End Rd on my commute home last night but still made good progress despite the MGM's size, much to the concern of the little Golf I was following through the gaps in traffic

I see the Ace Cafe has an American Car night from 4pm this Sat as a precursor to the Chelsea Cruise. Not been to the Ace before so how's the parking there?

[Roo]

Very nice. Much better than my old CV which I wish I hadn't sold.

Mine was also destined for the Middle East but ended up here.

[croyde]

Hey Roo, as yours was also destined for the Middle East, was your's also de-catted and how did it get through the MOTs?

Cheers.

[Roo]

Don't know if mine was decatted as it never came up as it always sailed through the MOT.

[croyde]

Thanks, not due for nearly a year and it has all the previous MOTs.

Any meets worth going to around London or the home counties?

[minerva]

That is just stunning! I am very jealous. Please let me know when you come to sell!!

[0a]

That's so damn cool!

[carpetsoiler]

You need to stick it on some black modular steelies, and push it a bit lower- will be meaner than a mean thing!

Something very very cool about these dinosaurs. I've always had a hankering for a Mercury Marauder, or an ex-police pursuit spec Crown Vic (P71 package, I think it is).

[davepoth]

I did 3,000 miles in a Crown Vic on holiday a year or two back; it felt big on US roads so it must feel amusingly ridiculous here.

A bit like this?

[Coatesy351]

I was in the US earlier in the year. First car i went in was a ford crown vic taxi I took a few snaps of them when i was out and about.

Lovely looking car, allways liked those big american sedans.

Now if you were to become a trauma doctor or HEMS paramedic you could join Basics and you'll be allowed to fit hidden blue lights and a siren to your own private vehicle, so you can be called upon by ambulance crews. Now thát would look cool on your car!

A bit like this :
