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.

Eastern Bloc it most certainly is.

Confession time: I found it last night and
thought I'd written down its details somewhere. It's the
thought that counts, right?

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?
