Hi folks,

Just joined and thought I'd introduce myself.

My name is Vivian (male version!) and I live in south Lincolnshire.

My interests are travelling, railways and sometimes helping my wife with her gardening hobby!

I am the proud owner of a 55 reg Mondeo Zetec mk3 hatchback which is in excellent condition throughout and, despite it's 90k miles, still drives like a new car! I tend to only do “good” miles in it, long runs a few times every month and holidays (I use a Citroen van for daily local use). The car always averages at least 40mpg.

My wife loves the car and finds it very comfortable, often nicer than more modern cars we've often hired when on holiday abroad.

So I'm very happy indeed to keep my Mondeo and maintain it well. The only problem I ever had with it was the alloy wheels started flaking quite badly, so I had them professionally refurbished and restored to factory finish which cost around £300 but the car now looks immaculate. I've owned the car for 8 years.

I look forward to following interesting Mondeo threads on here.
