I currently run a 97 2.0 lx mundaneo(aka the bin), now firstly, I have to admit the mundaneo (bin) is a good car, very cheap to run and insure. Secondly, I picked mine up for £150 at an auction, 118k with FSH, company car from new, 6mnths MOT and because it had two cracked bumpers the traders would not touch i. I drove home in this perfectly good runaround.
Herein lies the problem.
She who must be obeyed can have her little 1.2 shopping trolley SEAT IBIZA.
Whilst I indulge myself with a frankly BARGAIN £500 1997 Omega Reflection manual 2.5.
Apart from the usual issues, mainly bypass valve p**sing coolant and spots of rust on the bootlid, the meega is due to get another years MOT, and a fresh tax disc in the window.
The Meega is a frankly interesting little project, whilst the mundaneo (bin) will be kept as the daily driver/shunter/rescue vehicle it has already been, until the car gives it up.
The meega is ultimately the favourite, as fords competition was only available in a slush box as opposed to the manual MV6.
P.S. I dont have anything against autos, it's just nice to have the choice.
