Watch the R5 become a Fiesta variant EV

I still can't get why Ford killed the Fiesta off, in the top 10 best selling cars in the UK for perhaps 20 years & they can it without a proper replacement, and NO Ford we don't all want to drive bloated SUV's !

Fingers crossed Heinz, the real problem behind the Ford USA protectionism is the Blue Collar workface out there is fearsome so Europe and UK are easier downsizing options I am reliably informed.

Yes EV Capri and Explorer are Elephantine fugly things with no customer base so perhaps the Yank Ford management will keep them across the pond next time.

Just ordered up a new Puma ST 170bhp mHEV 5 door in Digital Aqua Blue so a green washing hybrid model which will make a good sporty shopping trolley for me and enable me to help out ferrying less able people around for Dartmouth Caring Drs. appointments/hospital visits etc.

To earn the ‘bigger bucks’ some Slovenians have worked in Austria and Germany, living there naturally and coming home holidays and some weekends. Over this summer we spoke to several who had been made redundant from the car making factories.
The EU and the UK need to stick to a strategy but one we can all see is sensible and not going to kill off what’s left of car manufacturing.
Sadly, son in law to be is getting a Jacoooooo delivered next week. I’m interested to see it in the flesh, learn how to spell it and see what toys it comes with.
Seasons best to all TMers, Morgan Mike
PS +8 Rich - Stoke Fleming is looking good to me - is it a Nuke free zone as we seem to be in Putins cross hairs in London !!?

One of the safest places in the world Mike - with fantastic opportunities for a great life in sublime Morgan outing countryside. Get yourself and Mrs down here for a taster holiday and sniff around.

Alistair moved into Dartmouth earlier this year from "Basingrad" and has taken to it like a duck to water and is part of the locals scene already, just like you he is blessed with an endearing light handedness and great sense of humour.

Wishing you and Mrs. Mike a great Christmas.

Don't forget the Nuc___r submarine decommissioning base just down the hill.
Safe as houses.

But it's okay as they took down the road signs so it does not exist anymore.

Hey we even had King Charles down here today.

Quack.
