Well we just got back from Europe and it was awesome. Fords everywhere! Mondeos running out your ears, in fact got to take a new wagon out, fitted with the diesel, it was surprisingly smooth. Visited the Koln plant and let me tell you they are pretty proud of that Ford line over there in Germany.

Chad the "hoodie" was a big hit!

One piece of irony, I drove the new Opal (1.8L) during my week there and logged over 1200 KM on it. I was impressed, well built, handled well, comfortable and tops out at 200 KM/hr...this is the new platform that GM pumped the money into and then walked away from. Better than most of the cars they put out in the states IMO. What a poor business decision.

Good visit, great to be back home.
