First things first. The excuses. The reason why I have been blogless recently is due to the phone. I have swapped mobiles and although the new phone (HTC Touch Diamond) is a cracking phone - it does not blog like the Sony Ericsson did. So the blogging slowed and eventually stopped.
So what's with the new car? The Ford Mondeo ST TDCI is a great car, just not a great car for me. Having swapped the Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B Sports Tourer (a truly wicked car!) for the ST TDCI after a few months there were 2 problems. The first was that there was a problem with the drivers seat which was meaning that I could only sit in it for about 15 mins. After this length of time it became VERY uncomfortable for me. The solutions were temporarily a small cushion to sit upon, getting a new carseat or new car. The second problem was diesel - I just couldn't do it! The noise, the smell, the unrefined driving - just not for me! Sorry
So what's with the new car? The Ford Mondeo ST220 is a truly great car, just the right car for me. The motor is much more refined than the diesel and the noise is fabulous. The recaro seats are great, I am finally content with my car. It has enough space, pace and grace for the whole family.
Just for the record....
