Mine is generally fine when it's on driveway... security lights put people off coming up the drive I think...

When it's parked elsewhere -- best thing is just to park it next to a nicer car , or under CCTV cameras....

Mondeo TD's are ok, there is a bit of lag but they go ok enough!

bit of a shite ride though, very spongy & rolls like a fat-ass-bitch when cornering!
