So my beloved BMW 325 convertible finally gave up the ghost the other week - I probably used the indicators far too much and she wasn’t used to it. Either way I was gutted as she was by far the best car I’d had although I won’t miss getting my head sunburned when I’d have the top down for too long…

Anyway I replaced it with a Mondeo 2.2 TDCI Titanium X Diesel. First time I’ve ever owned a diesel and yesterday I took it to pick my son up so had a good long drive. Really impressed with it so far, it has quite a few gadgets the Beemer didn’t have and although it’s 20 BHP less you wouldn’t know it. Still trying to figure out what a lots of the gadgets do…

One of the best thing is the crazy boot space. In the Beemer I’d really struggle to get my son’s bike in it, most of the time I couldn’t get it in so it would have to go on the back seat with the roof down.

With the Mondeo it fits right in with loads of space to spare.

Happy Russ now…
