v.plonk!

My last new old car never caused alot of trouble, but after 1.5 years the engine broke down. Right on the motorway while driving around 160km/h all of a sudden the engine lost loads of power and started to rattle. I gladly made my way to the next resting area, where the engine finally turned off and didn't start again. So I called the ADAC (a german motoring organisation) and after 45minutes of waiting I had to face the fact, that my beloved Subaru would never drive again.

So my dad and I took 2 days of running around, looking for cars, negotiating about prices (looking for new cars, old cars, new used ones...) and finally ended up with this great car: a Ford Focus TDCI, 4 years old, 65.000km driven for 8.100 Euros. The car is really nice, including an air conditioning system, lots of space and very comfortable seats. Everything looks still very new and shiny... and I'll try to keep it that way.

So again a real family car...
