bloody hell Tony, your having a bad run with family injuries atm, hope Kathryn has a speedy recovery.
as for a car are you going for new or 2nd hand & what sort of price range, you can't go an XR5 as they only come in manual, the lower model focus's are quite good for safety & price |

Hey Tony,
So sorry to hear about your dramas. Life isn't very fair - believe me....I know! I had huge empathy with the doggy drama - I have 4 show dogs and the vet bills to match - and a car I would sacrifice anything for. You know I am the Business Manager for Suzuki In The City in Adelaide, so if you need a hand with a new car please contact me. I still have strong contacts for Ford as well....plus BMW...yeh, right!!! If you are looking for a used car, my cousin owns 2 large used yards in Melbourne and he would help as soon as I pick the ph up and mention "mate". Let me know. Regards Gaela
