the million(artistic licence) mile Mondeo Taxi
Discussion
Good looking thing, and do make sure you tell us about the mods that have definitely not been done to this car. Your response to a moron early on in your last thread made me chuckle. Best of luck with this one. I've seen a few with the honeycombe style grille that the Fiesta/Focus Zetec S models have. They look good should you be inclined to totally not do anything to the car...
that was painful,
drilled roof to fit a taxi ariel
and a new boot liner hurrah, our dog has a habit of pooping in Mondeos (only Mondeos mind, quite happy in the wifes car
said mondeo pooper
she may look cute and cuddly,
but then she shows her evil Mondeo hating site
in other news, the old mk4.5 went to her new home today, Now in the good care of my friend Gerry anyone that visits RD tyres in Glasgow can pop by and say hello/have their picture taken with the 9th wonder of the world(a ford that doesnt break down)
next up for the new shed, some taxi plates and work

Yes, I believe they did.Also shows the interwebs can be a 'dangerous' place if you piss people off etc.
ps. FWIW I really, really like the new Mondeos
Good luck with the new car Rob! If we find the culprit then maybe you can transport them in component form so they can actually be useful to someone.
well managed to put a 1000 miles on her so far,
some first impressions,
its a huge improvement over the mk4.5 quieter, more refined and certainly more torquey 150 vs 140 as standard. i wouldn't say its far off a mapped 140 in terms of overtaking grunt.
its ruddy big. certainly feels bigger than the 4.5 thank god for parking sensors is all i can say.
visibility is good, driving position is spot on, and everything in the cabin feels easy to reach and at hand.
only negative is that its taking a bit of time to switch from mk4.5 to mk5 a lot of the switches are a different layout, would have been nice if they could have kept things like the steering wheel switches in the same positions etc. muscle memory is a pita at times
got a nice little road trip tomorrow pitlochry to London so will be another 1000 miles of mainly motorway munching tomorrow, certainly seems a very capable mile muncher but i'll report back after tomorrows excursion

fella? ;p
Try yet again lol
Been in service since Friday currently on 2200 miles lol
Some more thoughts, it's bloody brilliant at munching miles, effortlessly went to London and back yesterday and certainly can't fault the car in anyway, standard halogen lights are really impressive fantastic throw off them and the auto high beam is spot on. Steering wheel has a great feel to it and despite having electric steering compared to the mechanical rack of the mk4 it's nicely weighted
