Nope and the rear bumper tells that tale (last owner was female)

Ain't I right in saying that the logbook doesn't go near the new owner. When looking at the car today (garage by the way, forgot to say got a 3 month warranty as well) the fella photocopied the logbook and gave us the copy, why I don't know, but it has the previous owners address and car details on it......

Same idea as taking a pic on phone of logbook after you sign it.

Because tomorrow if you get stopped for having no tax (i dunno if it does or not), you're excuse of Ive just bought it carries some evidence.
Id always give a copy to the new owner.

Don't even have the car home yet, didn't even ask for a deposit in fact. Few things he needs to address with it first. The copy was one of the first things he gave me when I arrived, I could have easily just said no to the car and left with that copy....

Going to head down to Mitchelstown tomorrow and pick up the side skirts, I might as well put them on the car while I am there. No Idea how much it will cost in petrol in The Chaser, guess I will brim it and see.

Ah right well in that case I can understand....with a nice engine it's a lovely amplifier.

Whatever about the normal mini. The countryman like that one is the most stupid looking yoke. My aunty got one a few months ago and it has countryman written the whole way across the boot in literally the biggest letters ever. As for power the 1.6 diesel is probably one of the worst diesels I was in foot to the floor in second even and still no great amount of pull. An other relation has a 1.6 petrol first one and even that's feels better and it is a long way of being quick by anyone's standards.

Last time I was in it I was constantly changing gear and speed so I could listen to that DSG parp over and over again. Twas bliss.

I'll never forget the Alfa run through it with 6 or 7 busso's. Oh the noise, the noise!:)

coolisin

That's the trouble with the 330i the noise is too "refined"/toned down.
It's on my ever growing list to do something about the stock exhaust.

he works for a company that makes conveyors, production lines etc out of stainless etc. He's a welder by trade. His welds are perfect and after he polishes them you can't see the join. It's incredible. He's done custom stuff for me before on bikes too. I'll throw up a few pics later

Apart from the detailing inside and out, does anybody know if the Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport is any different to the normal Titanium X or Business Edition? Does it has stiffened suspension or anything to make it "sporty"?
