thanks for looking, sorry if this is considered spam here.


Perhaps it hasn't ever been driven by anyone with a baseball cap, but why does it have a twin exhuast?

£1800 ? Parkers rekon £1500, and only then if it's absolutely immaculate. It's probably worth about a grand.

Because it isn't standard, like wot it says?

All of which adds to the value .... nothing. It may even detract.

You mean one which will look cared for, and not tarted up with NovaBoy spoilers? :)

did you read the webpage, you tube? The car is as it left the factory, the spoiler etc are factory fitted optional extras.

Pity it's not nearer September -I'll be looking for a Mondeo around then .. Stuart ( Glasgow)

"did you read the webpage, you tube?"

Am I behind the times, but what exactly is a 'tube' in this context?

Nice one Sherlock, of course it isn't standard. The question was why - why fit a twin exit exhuast system to a standard 2.0 Mondeo?

-- Michael Rodgers, Plymouth UK

I suppose because it's fairly easy. Mondeos normally have two back boxes

- one blind and one with the tailpipe. I presume the blind one is the middle silencer.

Blimey, don't ask me. The goings on in the minds of most car customisers requires a degree in clinical psychiatry, and I'm only a biochemist turned computer geek turned PHB.

And the OP expects people to buy his car when he talks to them like that!?

Assuming "tube" is a derogatory name in G-boy language of course.

The message from snipped-for-privacy@huge.org.uk (Huge) contains these words:

Poor Harmless Bastard? Particularly Heavy Brewer? Pointless Head Banger?

I think we should be told.

Pointy Haired Boss. From Dilbert.

To be fair, you took the bait there!

Yeah, point taken :) just bit peeved at being compared to a Novaboy!

You are the first person I know who has ever described themselves as a PHB. Which means, presumably, that you are no such thing. Here is your starter for 10: how do you reboot your laptop ?

First choose which operating system I want ...

Don't worry, a lot of ignorant Novaboys would be insulted at being put in the same boat as someone driving a much better car :-)
