Not posted it "over there" lest I be flamed to death, but I know there are one or two people here that will appreciate some country lane action :)

Mondeo Power!

Sheep were slain and children were massacred. I make no apologies.

She didn't ask you to apologise, just to think about 'em :p

[Haly]

Exactly :D As long as you sit down and think about what you've done, that's fine :p

Mondeos with induction kits always sound sweet IMO. My ST24, with it's decent exhaust and cold air induction kit sounded SWEEEEEET. Is that a K&N jobby or something a bit more sophisticated or ghetto?

[Dr. Z]

It used to be ghetto - no air filter whatsoever. It now has a Pipercross cone filter on it after the one Leon gave me with the car refused to stay on.

I also have a powerflow exhaust on it, but thats not really audible :(

Mondy's do respond well the breathing mods - that does sound nice :cool: :D

Its really strange that although the video seems like a nice drive through the countryside, it was actually pretty tough going. Maybe the video is "the truth" and it really wasnt all that fast a drive but to give it some perspective (and this I really wont post on the other side)...

Going on where I am in the gearbox and the sound, I reckon that:

My top speed on that particular run is just over 100mph (about 45s in)
At 1:10ish I take a walled bend at the very top of 2nd which is about 50mph
at 1:40-1:50 and again at 2:20 the road is so bumpy that the suspension is right at the bottom of its travel and its making the FRONT END move physically across the road - very disconcerting!

For most of that I am taking it at between 70 and 90mph and it felt quite quick from the driving seat (and the passenger with the camera who considers himself a bit of a driver was a little breathless and said he was fairly "scared", so I guess it felt fast as a passenger).

Thing is, I dont know the road all that well, so I am sure it could be done faster - if only it wasnt a public road :(

I told you, "don't die", so don't do anything too stupid please.

[Dr. Z]

Oh I have no plans to - its a public road :) Just saying that if you know a road usually you can push faster, but thats quite fast enough when there are other cars and people and sheep and whatnot about :)

[Blackstar]

Good, if you died i'd have to kill you :p
