Our Mk1 Ford Mondeo Project is Going to be AMAZING!
(Re-upload to hopefully overcome some sound issues, or not. I have no idea what I'm doing)
In this new episode, you get an introduction to my new but not new because it's from 1996, Ford Mondeo 1.8 Verona saloon. So it's basically a BTCC racer, right? RIGHT?
Sorry for the long the delay. I'll be working on the car from now on and there will be more regular content coming. Thanks to Adrian of @PedalBox for filming this for me.

GET LOW! Doug the Bug gets coilovers and wheels.
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
Doug the Bug was looking a bit too tall, so rather than do anything sensible like get an MOT or do a service or fix any of the broken bits, I put some bargain coilovers on it. And now it's loooooooow! Big thanks to www.maxpeedingrods.co.uk/ Become a Patron - www.patreon.com/user?u=28436546

    Only just found this and it put a lump in my throat.. my last car before I left the UK in 2001 was a Rover 800 Sterling (I think it was a Sterling Vitesse or a Sterling Sport) !!! So like yours but in (cough) racing green with the tan leather and er 'wood' trim. I thought I was Lord Muck. Great car in a straight line but couldn't go around a corner faster than 30mph. Also I remember after a hot summer the dash expanded and popped out of its fixings. The mechanic took a look and said 'oh yeah.. they all do that'.

    I have that car and have just drove from Germany through Belgium, France, and most of Ireland and am heading back next week. These cars rust badly, mine however lived in Greece so it has zero rust. They drive fantastic are are smooth and reliable. I love mine. Back in Germany I’m going to give it some love and get it waxed and sealed. Check the door seals and unblock the rubber outlets under the car. Rear plate holder rubs and rusts so get in there aswell. That switch you found is a brake light switch, if it sticks in gear or won’t select 😅 you’ll need that. Quite a common fault on these models. Easy fix aswell, can be done under the pedals with a screwdriver 🪛

    Look at his oozing loser, dweeb energy. You could tell he was a loser, so obviously. Why anybody raised money for this chump is beyond me. He was very quick to post self-pitying videos on Twitter and very slow to accept any constructive suggestions. Just blocked anybody saying anything he didn't like. Not to mention the puddings, the details of which will hopefully come to light one day. Then when you think he couldn't be more of a loser, he pulls the ultimate coward move and put his hands on a woman. I sincerely hope he gets his grubby hands back on this account and sees this comment and it ruins his day. Go F yourself Chris. Nobody likes you, nobody wants you.

      18 months for intended strangulation. He went back to strangle her for a second time, the first time with his hands, second time by kneeling on her windpipe with his full body weight - she's 5'1", he's 6'3" and many stones heavier. 4 months for ABH. He punched and slapped her several times - severe bruising and swelling all over her face. 1 month for criminal damage. This wasn't a heat of the moment thing, it was acknowledged as a sustained attack. 23 months just isn't enough IMHO.
