Still toying. Out of curiosity more than anything else. Went to have a look at a Mondeo ST TDCI 155. Nice car to be honest. Just don't do modern Fords though (Apart from the Focus RS )

Found one.

After looking a shed loads of estates, Settled on a 330D M Sport 57 reg Tourer. Lovely car and superb to drive. Had a look at 2 Audi A4 avants (170 s line) last week and was very disappointed with them. Noisy engines, Cheap(ish) interiors and very few toys. The 330 was everything. Declared happy now at last. Will take 2 weeks for it to be delivered after plate change etc. First thing to do.......................Get it remapped by Simon Coe.

Great looking car and with a remap-fantastic!
Seriously consider some winter tyres as soon as you can though-you might pick up some bargains in the summer months and they are a must have come winter!
