nothing handles like a courtesy car.......except for a hire car

[bigdavie]

Mondeos are decent enough cars... fond memories of lift-off oversteer in my old Mk2 '00 Zetec. Haha!! []

Cheers,

Grant

[bigdavie]

sounds good !!!!

[RS Grant]

I provoked it by fitting P-Zeros (poor in wet) to the rear and Eagle F1s (good in wet) to the front.... []

Cheers,

Grant

Haha. I've got cars in GT4 fitted with Qualifiers on the front and the hardest rubber known to man on the rear. Great for a powerslide. Better in real life I imagine.

I could tell a good courtesy car story, but I'm afraid I'd possibly libel myself.

St3phen,

I think you should relate this probably amusing story that happened to an old friend of yours!

Andy

P.S. was that you on the M8 this morning about 8.45am?

[st3ph3n]

Indeed it was Andy. I was heading to work a bit later than normal.

That old friend of mine [] once hung out the backend of a works Nissan pickup truck whilst pulling out of a junction at low speed. Once he knew how to do it he was sideways the rest of the day.

[bigdavie]

omg they gave me a 06 plate 2.0 tdci ghia x !!

and it is rubbish !! stalls at the slightest thing !!

impossible seating position !

uncomfy heavy steering

shiny plastic steering wheel

unbelievable im phoning tomorrow for a vectra !

[st3ph3n]

Vectras as courtesy cars is not a good mix. I went through front tyres in mine ever 6-8K, if I was driving it like a courtesy car I doubt I'd have got 1K out of them.

[bigdavie]

used to taxi a vec so at least i know what i'm in for !!

just cannot believe the crappiness of that mondeo !! its not even cracked a thousand miles yet !! and ive already managed to pull a bit of centre console off !!

do you think the hire company will swap the car for me ??

[bigdavie]

here's a pic of the culprit lol !!

[H Wrx]

D'oh - handed in my WRX to Town & County Subaru for its 30,000 mile service and they gave me a Seat Arosa 1.0 l!!![]

[bigdavie]

an arosa ?? lmao a roller skate !!
