Thats cause Ford haven't made anything worth having for ages.

I would like a Mondeo ST TDCi, but I know it would devalue too fast.

i work for a japanese company and lived in germany for years doing so - the last thing i want on my drive is a reminder

here's some proper german technology - designed so that you don't mess up the toilet or block the basin and with a large aperture for easy wash away. note also the conveniently placed handles. found in the toilet of a 'cider' house.
