Hmmm Who's flaming what?
If you'd know anything about this group you'd know that Jon Smillie is
a true blue Ford man - I'm sure he was born in a Ford T-Shirt and will
probably be buried in one. I personally actually prefer Holdens over
Fords but would buy neither of their Australian 'designed' cars as
they're a size too big for me. As for the Neon not making it 35K
miles well, gee buddy you obviously know as much about modern cars as
you do about this newgroup.
It (and any of it's competitors) could do 35K miles with the A/C on,
in complete comfort without sending the passengers deaf and broke on a
fuel bill that legends are made of.
