    Ford gave him a DB9 to drive while he decides what to buy next, I think he's still using it.

    All I know is that he still has the SL55.

    Euro spec Focus' are fantastic cars. They have a very good suspension, they stick to the road like glue.

    as stated, once you've driven in London and had your bumpers hit by taxis, your wing-mirrors clipped by white vans and your paintwork scratched by bike couriers you will want to take seomthign cheap into the city !!

    from what I heard, Ford loaned him an Aston Martin as a futile attempt to get him to buy another of their products.
    I have found a new love in the form of a tristar.

    it's more to do with frustration in REALLY heavy traffic, speed-control measures and mostly ABILITY.
    It only takes one idiot who cant' judge gaps to take your wing-mirror off

    The Belgians dont' give a sh!t, closely followed by the French. Look around the cities and you struggle to find a car that ISNT bashed. Friend of mine who worked in Grenoble used to say everyone couldnt' believe how he repaired every minor bump and mark !

    To some a car is ONLY a means of transport. It's NOT a valued objoect. Hence why it's best NOT to mix your 'treasure' on the busiest roads

    You think so ? I agree that car of the average Frenchman doesn't look great but, in Belgium too ? Maybe in Brussels but that's a big city...
