Mk5 mondeo is looking good

http://www.fastfordmag.co.uk/2012/01/09 ... unleashed/

this will be the last of them irekon, if so iwonder what they change the name of them too,

like they did with the ford siera

This just looks like a current Mondeo with a 407 grille.

I reckon it'll be the last of them, they'll do a Nissan/Renault and sell the new "KooGaa" SUV in it's place, because people are obsessed with SUVs.

this looks good,

the interior looks abit tacky mind

[sirwiggum]

bah! Thats just one of those "koo-ga" efforts.
Not a fan of SUVs.
Too many school run mobiles being driven and parked badly.

But they're not bringing them to the UK, so we'll probably not see any about.

Anyone seen anything new or interesting on the roads?

They are not officially bringing them to the uk, but that hasn't stopped the renault fluence coming into northern ireland from the south. If they get the 301 in the ROI there might be a few making their way in with RHD.

I've seen a few Fluenceses about with RoI plates. The diesel version sells well down south.
Similar with Nissan Tildas, Corolla saloons and Focus/Astra saloons that you don't get in the UK anymore.

Yet another Ferrari. Belfast must be the 2nd biggest market for these things.

Also on the drive in today saw an olympic torch support bmw. Was just an English '12' reg 5 series estate with a coca cola logo on the side, I originally thought he'd won it in a coke can or something.

that ferrari driver must be brave keeping it in a carpark like that, although he (or she) has wisely parked it far enough from the picasso so its doors won't whack into the sides of it.

[sirwiggum]

The wild Picasso appeared soon afterward, it was unsurrounded when we entered the car park.

If I owned such a car (the Ferrari that is), I'd have a runabout for doing the messages, keep the Ferrari garaged for weekend runs.

Its bad enough getting door dings in the Accord coupe or the Getz (which we were in) never mind a sports car worth more than my house.

Yeah if I owned such a car I'd be paraniod parking in a tight car park like that...but then if I could afford one in the first place, I'm sure I could afford any repairs...

Good spotting....Not seen any round here.....but this is the poor north west...

[FarmerPug]

You could have an aston martin cygnet for the runabout

[sirwiggum]

Irish406 - Only my 2nd Ferrari 599 I've seen recently.

Seen a couple of older ones - 356s and the likes.

FarmerPug - Saw a Cygnet near Holywood - North Down, millionaires mile, probably their runabout. Thats what Aston were selling them as, buy the Aston for the weekends, and the Cygnet for doing your messages. I'd say I'd fit more beer and frozen pizzas in a DB9 though.

... and feel considerably less of a twat arriving in a DB9 than a £30k rebadged Toyota iQ

[sirwiggum]

Saw the Twizy again in South Belfast.

Looks very narrow, but in todays weather would've offered more weatherproofing than a motorbike.
