I was a Mondeo man too. My first ever car was a 1994 Mondeo estate. It was running really well until it blew the engine gasket.

until it blew the engine gasket.

Failed head gaskets used to be a common problem i wonder why they seem to be more reliable these days.

Finer machine tolerances I think Chippy and thicker better quality gaskets instead of the ones made out of card Cornflake packets

My favourite car was a Cortina MK4 2.3 V6

I had one of those..mine was silver, black vinyl roof, Ghia, manual, plenty of power....body work was rough on it though,

Loved the power you could moved through town traffic in fourth (no 5 or 6 speeds then) and it would pull away no problem.

My first company car back in 1987 was a 2.0 turbo diesel Sierra. Loads to the gallon but the turbo lag made exiting junctions somewhat entertaining.

Only owned 2 fords my first car an escort Mexico and a 61 plate focus brand new, the focus was a good motor apart from the fact it had more buttons than a space shuttle nearly crashed it a few times playing with them, currant motor is a 17 plate peugeot 2008 and it may be my last it's that good

Always liked the focus Rod, I bought a 6 month old 2002 MK1.5 LX which was a game changer car...completly new toa anything I'd ever driven.,.i think they still look new nearly 20 years later! We drove to France a couple of times in it no problems, always felt fresh when we jumped out 700 miles later!. Also had a 6 month old 2008 mk2.5 Titanium which was also a fantastic motor but somehow I never liked it like the first one...it had lost its cutting edge..
