Howdy Peoples,
Got home tonight from work ad saw that the weeklylocal Rag had been delivered. Goody says I as I needed something to read on the toily. :hihi: Anywyas, I flick to the Motoring section (usually consisiting of 2 or 3 articles at the back). And heres a pic of an Electric Orange XR5 Turbo in all its glory for everyone to see. The Caption Anyone? "Ford's XR5 Turbo Focus is Designed and Built in Germany By Opel"  out:  :Read on and they mention it once again in the Article.... Just goes to show how much expertise their Motoring Crew has, maybe Paul Gover Proofreads thier stuff. Unbeleivable. |

Whilst the Focus is now built in South Africa, the Focus XR5 is actually built in Germany.............but never by Opel!!!
