who would come off worse... curious ( and bored)

Best thing, borrow someone elses Mondeo, that is if you want to ram someone   

Notoriously hard in the front end.  Ask any banger racer.

And that way, the Mk3 lives to see another dawn 

my mate crashed hes dads one at about 25mph and it was f**ked

ive never seen a mondeo that wasnt held together with duct tape .... thought it came on the bumpers as standard

  this is very true

It really is, its rare to see one without that splendid silver go faster stripe down the rear flank.

It's a shame, because if you are not fussed what you drive then the mondeo has always been and still is a very capable motor.

this is very true lol i had one a couple of year ago an after i sold it i sore it 3 month later with duct tape all over bumper

they do seem to last forever tho theres sooo many of them about

i bet theres a mondeo forum somewhere and its the equivalent of our forum sticker ...and of course duct tape will be a major sponsor  ( i reckon sales would go up if they introduced a mondeo colour range)

your so right. they do have there problems like any car but do keep going an going an did enjoy driving it for the short time i had it.    but still got to love the duct tape

I have a mate who was driven head on into in his Mondeo by an Audi A4 at 60mph, and that was f**ked, but fortunately he wasn't.  He owns several cars (Manta's/big American Mecury/Land Rover/Discovery) but went straight back out and bought another Mondeo as a daily as he said he didn't feel safe in anything else after the crash.

This is the only video I can find of a banger race to demonstrate how hard they are in the front: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laukLl-xLXs

Some meets even have a non mondeo stipulation.
