I'm a chav

[Rawwr]

June 4th I bought a Mondeo ST220. It was an utter dog. I replaced it today, trying desperately not to think about the money I lost on it. So now I have a 1-year old ST-3 with navigation and a few other funky options. Utterly delighted with it but feel like such a d*ck being 37 and trying to think I'm down with the kidz now

The difference is that for you the insurance is affordable and not optional!!!

Who cares what other people think. Just enjoy it.

Indeed! A mere £180, which isn't too shabby

Probably a cool little car and fun to drive but the colour will wear you down after a bit.

Quite fancy an orange car, it certainly stands out but not in a bad way as I don't believe all this chav rubbish or that there is any upper age limit on hot hatches either!

I'm not even sure what that means.

I despite black/grey/white cars and bikes with a passion, despite my previous two cars being black and the bike being black. It's nice to stand out a bit from the river of monotony that makes up the roads these days.

Nonsense, it's your car, you like it, please don't give a stuff what anyone else thinks.

For what it's worth, I think it looks very smart and not at all chav-ish. It stands out a bit too. Not boring and run of the mill in colour.

Love it. Spotted one in this colour earlier for the first time 'in the flesh' and it looked superb. Great choice.

Well, that's good then. Enjoy it for what it is.

Love it! Very tempted by the new rs after a quick go in a friends - but will make do with my super chav mk1, complete with flame splitting barry boy exhaust and dump valve!

As long as you like its all that matters

Pictured outside our new house - the neighbours are not overly impressed with it...

[ManicMunky]

Lovely looking car! And the facelift too, looks much better!

[Riskins]

well done for bringing some colour to our dull roads, great colour.

Question is how long can you resist before a cheeky remap?

Forever, probably. If I can't be quick with 250bhp, I doubt I'll be any quicker with 300bhp

I'm 50 and think it looks ace

[CABC]

Nice colour!
Not sure why a lively colour would 'wear you down'?
Life's too short. Enjoy.

That looks spot on and who gives a s**t that you're 37, it's a petrol heads car and it's fun.

I'm 34 and own a Twingo 133, it's a smile machine.

[Resto157]

Love the colour.

Enjoy
