Heh heh. I merely commented that the new Mondeo appears to be a very good car indeed. And Ford is a US owned company with bits of the Mondeo made in different parts of Europe - including the UK and Germany. For some reason you decided to have a pop at the British - for I'm sure your own good reasons.
BTW, *some* parts of the German car industry are successful. Not all.
I about ate one of these with a '92 525 when stationed in Germany after 'the wall' came down. Northbound on A-7 headed to Wurzburg at ~125 MPH. Min speed on the autobahn (if I remember right) was 60KMH (~37 MPH). I doubt that Trashie was doing even 1 K over it when he pulled into the left lane w/o a signal...and no doubt without checking mirrors! Thankfully my car was fairly new and BMW brakes are as they are.

They were soon banned from driving the autobahn, as I recall. Many, many people died in their little plastic boxes, trying to make U-turns when they missed their exits, or just plain plowed into when left-laning at barely 60 km/h...
According to this
A man stops his Trabant at a garage and says: "Two windscreen wipers for my Trabi". The garage owner thinks for a moment, then replies: "OK, that's a fair deal."
Why does the Trabi have a heated rear window? It keeps your hands warm while you push it.
