I read this and also thought I would contribute.
I was 18 at the time, my £400 Clio RT has taken a smack and deemed a right off, therfore me inheriting a really tatty M reg Mondeo...highly embarrasing however reliable and comfortable the car turned out to be.
Although being in £3000 worth of...
Part of me wants to get my hands on a set of these Raceland coilovers now and have a butch....
