Thanks for a warm welcome! As I wrote in the 'introduce yourself' thread, I've followed this forum for several years. I've made an attempt to be a little more active before, it ended with saying hello in the beforementioned thread. Now I'm starting with a brand new login and a strong determination to contribute! I live in the south of Sweden, and have been buying, driving and selling cars since before I got my license in 1996. There's been a lot of Fords, the only reason being my grandfather passing on his 1975 2-litre Granada 2-door saloon to my mother when he stoppped driving in 1985. Fords have always been frowned upon in Sweden where Volvo's and German have a strong following, as well as american cars, but all in there own socio-cultural habitat. Old RWD Fords have been the choice of yank-enthusiasts to thrash in winter time. I plan to use this thread to remember my past fleet and share some of it with you. So what does the fleet look like today? This is my daily driver, a 2012 Mondeo 2.0 TDCI. It's the newest car I've ever had, and I bought it in december 2020 when I thought I was going to get a long commute for work. It turned out the opposite, I can now walk to work when I have the time, so this will be sold within the next months, though sadly missed as I like it a lot. It might be replaced with a Mk3 Mondeo petrol estate, and it may well be bought today. It's been fairly dependable, I've had to replace starter, battery, brake discs, fuel filter housing and rear brake calipers.
