I reckon that's why many boy-racers fix those bloody great
handlebar/tea-tray devices to their car boots - something to push the
car by

Oi, what's wrong with a Mondeo??? It even came with a free flat cap and
nodding dog

No stringback gloves, that's what ;-)

Hmmm, maybe. I always thought they were for putting their tinnies on while
chatting with their mates.

I discovered today that there's actually a Mondeo Owners Club, having
seen a really silly looking car with this url printed on the window:
<http://www.fordmondeoownersclub.co.uk/>

I actually liked the look of the first Mondeos. The front had quite a
friendly look, which Clarkson described as the ugliest car on the road
and looking like a wide-mouthed frog. The following year the headlight
shape changed and it became a really unpleasant, aggressive looking car.

It was the Granada (renamed to Scorpio) that Clarkson described as
looking like a wide mouthed frog, and he was right - it really did.

The Mark 1 Mondeo just looked like it was sucking its teeth in. Many
owners turned the grille upside down so it didn't look quite so frowny.

Clarkson is amusing but a total dope as well.

The Scorpio was two different ugly cars ( ugly in different ways) welded
together, the back of one ugly car to the front of another ugly car!
