Default Saw a neat sight today...



Walking out of the swim centre today, and lo, here's a white MC Titanium parked next to my black one.

What I love about this is, the parking lot was otherwise deserted, so that means there's at least one other person in the world who notices the same model of car when they're out and about

Very nice, I must admit I do like your black Titanium Mondaveo!

Have you had a chance to tow anything with yours yet?

Last month someone parked a MD wagon next to mine. They do look nice, especially the interior.

Thanks. From the rear is definitely its best angle in black, IMO. The gloss black grille at the front loses some impact when the whole car is a dark colour.

Fortunately the photo doesn't show up how shamefully dirty the car was at the time - happily rectified a few hours later

I haven't had occasion to tow anything yet, but I definitely considered it a plus when buying that the car had it. It must surely come in handy for that one time a year...

Funny you should mention that, on a road trip to Darwin last year, I made a stop at a supermarket at Katherine. I came out to find a car parked REAL close to the back of my 4x4. Upon closer inspection found his bumper bar moulded around my tow hitch. He had obviously drove into the park until my car stopped him and then left it like that. No damage done to mine as I have a rear bull bar but you think they would of backed off just a little before getting out.
