Miss the Mondeos though particularly the 2004-07 models. Having said that i seen a couple of minutes ago an avensis saloon regular car (not traffic) in coolock with anpr on it. The rear cam on the boot looks like its being held on with chewing gum or some sort putty. Looks like a quick fix...or a bad transition.

Caught a glimse of motorway cops old old series last night and a Octavia estate vRS against police 3series. The vRS left them sitting as the cornering capabilities was huge compared to there over weight machine. Great for motorway straight lines but on back roads had huge trouble.It will be interesting to see when new tender is put out will they stick with Hyundai from now on. Ford have lost out big.

And whatever clown thought it was appropriate to buy vehicles with electronic parking breaks for patrol cars wants their head examined! And they repeated that with the i40's. Some enterprising person should have bought the rights to the 07 Mondeo. I've never heard a single negative comment about them.
