£600 Mondingo Estate - Shedding Virginity!!!!

Like it! These are a top idea for a shed, I've had three MK2s (2.0 Zetec and two ST200) and a couple of years or so ago I bought an '04' MK3 1.8 Ghia X hatchback for shed money and couldn't believe the level of spec they came with.. xenons, heated/cooled seats, climate control etc.. so much car for the money.

Lol you found my shed page!!!! It does exactly what it says on the tin although my 7 year old turned her nose up this morning and as we were driving along she said -

‘Dad can I say something......I don’t really like this car, it’s a bit of a banger and not very fast’

It made me smile so the obvious question was -

‘What should Dad get then?’

To which she replied -

‘I think you should get a Porsche but check with Mum first!’

I was in stitches bless her, a car snob at 7! I managed to take Mrs Sit out today to do the food shop - far more room in the Mondeo than her A1 although as we were walking out the door she still said ‘Are you sure you don’t want to take my car?’

Anyway food shop done the fuel light came on so another £35 of finest unleaded, quick calculation suggests about 32mpg on the last tank which is ok. I haven’t been doing my motorway trips yet just some local commuting of around 8 miles so it’s to be expected.

Goof stuff....and the real trims make a big difference to the looks!

It's certainly in beterms exterior condition than my stepdads. That sold last week for £180, to be scrapped, it had a good innings.

Thanks I think it looks a lot better to be honest - it's MOTD until Sept so if I could get one more ticket out of it come Sept I will be happy.

It really does belie its age in how it drives, boot is MASSIVE too and definitely bigger than my outgoing X5 for sure!!
