:x Thanks Rich, but if I wanted that look I'd buy a Focus and simply drive it with the hatch slightly open and the gaps filled with sticky backed plastic. Just like Ssangyong appear to have done with that godawful pile of pooh. :lol:

There are cars in the world that I prefer to these. :)



How did that statement come across? Feedback welcomed as I'm currently battling my way through a "self-help" book in the hope of learning to become tactful and diplomatic, whatever these words mean :? ..... ;)

*Checks the book for suggestions re; diplomatic reply to the above* Finds one: Can I help it if I have fingers like a bull queen? :mrgreen:

Is it from the Eastern block?

Eastern Bloc it most certainly is. :thumbs: Confession time: I found it last night and thought I'd written down its details somewhere. It's the thought that counts, right? :oops: What I'm saying is that I'm buggered if I can remember what it is, apart from its being Russian and about twenty years newer than it looks.

Is the presence of Lord Glover of Peterboghorror required or will someone else know what it is? Will I find a scrap of paper with that information written on it? Is the world going to last that long?
