After a lengthy (and ultimately) unsuccessful handbag fight with MBUK over the famous valeo kiss of death I decided to go away from the prestige market for a while.
Traded my MB (Money Bucket) for a year old Mondeo Titanium X and have been genuinely surprised at the depth of talent and quality. It really is a lot of fun to drive, has a reasonable amount of poke, is comfortable & has lots of toys - all for the princely sum of £12k. Of course I realise it doesn't have the bragging credentials, but for the moment I don't care - it moves, and if it stops it's under manufacturers warranty.
I'd love to come back to the fold one day, but only when I am rather more certain that my investment isn't going to be worse than Woolworths shares.
