It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.

I heard Dai bought it because it's a bit rough up his way but a bird dropped a brick on the bonnet pre delivery so he rejected it!

Maybe a British Ociffer in France? weird though as you say.

Anyways, 1860KG on (what look like) standard brakes :shock:

was most likely heading to be a diplomats car, they often have mundane cars to transport people around in.

when my dad was working on a RAF base they had price Charles turn up on site in a Mondeo (I suspect that had being modified though)
