It's odd how one can become attached to a particular brand. For thirty years I had a succession of Fords (Mk 2 Consul to Mk 3 Granada 2.9 Cosworth 24 valve,) until one day the love affair faded. Since then its all been downhill starting with worst car I have ever owned a BMW 325d, then an Audi A3, and now a Smart. Driving is no fun any more.
