Saw a flame belching Mondeo today
« on: 23 October 2015, 23:17:46 »
Was at Fosse Park, Leicester today. Black fairly new Mondeo Rorted forward in a gap of queuing cars. Flames belched out of the twin exhausts. Is this a new craze?  We both thought what a plonker. It was daylight too. :o

Everyone knows flames are cool. Might fit some of those Saffa-spec flame throwers to ours...

You can buy the Mongdog with the same 2.5T engine as found in Focus ST/ various Ovlovs.

Chances are its been tuned and just running very rich on the over run or they have gone for an anti lag system (unlikely)
