Life after Terrano ownership

[Sweety]

Know i've not been on for a while so hope everyone is keeping well Well it's been 2 months since I parted company with my Terrano but i'm really enjoying it's replacement ie a 60 plate Mondeo titanium 2.0 tdci 140, having an auto again has been a god send & found i'm now driving more often than I was. The days of driving like an old fart to try & gain some sort of mpg have now gone & i'm back to my old ways of having some fun on the twisty back roads but still getting returns of 47mpg (mixed driving but a lot around the doors) which i'm more than happy with. The big test for me was last week when it was put to work towing our caravan & all I can say is wow felt nicely planted to the ground like the T2 did but pulled like a train & just powered up the hills only dropping down to 5th where I would have had to drop to 3rd in the T2 & at around 30mpg towing I was over the moon with. Still miss the driving position & height of the T2 plus it's ground clearance as I now have to slow down for speed bumps & getting on/off my drive is a right pain due to only having about 10mm clearance under the front bumper because of the kerb is so high
Funny enough I saw my old truck today & tbh it was looking a bit sad for itself, yes I stripped bits off before it went but it looked as if it hadn't been washed since I last did it that wasn't the worst the poor girl sounded very rattly
