Not at all. The Defender is the utility vehicle - the original Land Rover, and the interior of mine looked like this. UK Focuses are built in Germany!

Oh god. It's butt is decked in some kind of house cladding

Oh no. My 2004 S4 Avant just had a new clutch and DMF at a cost of £2k ($3.5k) and now it's back at the garage because it's making a funny noise which I suspect to be alternator belt bearings. At least it has a timing chain rather than belt

Everything in proportion. A Defender is meant to be tinny etc. A Focus isn't really. I've also owned a Golf - direct competition to the Focus, which had great seats, stereo, interior etc. It's all a matter of cost engineering. Ford spent there money on independent multi-link suspension and a funky interior, but

A 1989 Land Rover Defender on 2" risers. Agricultural as hell and great fun. But as reliable as a politician. My car selection swings wildly from sensible to insensible

Was a 2008

UK. Lots of people like it but I thought it was complete shit

I once bought a Ford Focus 2 litre after reading lots of positive reviews about it - partly from Clarkson. God it was dreadful. Tinny interior, weak engine, shit stereo and seats that brought on backache after 5 minutes. Sold it after 6 months of horribleness and bought a 1988 Mercedes 300TE. Now THAt was an epic

Hi. I uploaded it to Flickr. Also, uploaded the same photo without the Snapseed filter, and a couple of others. The links are:

I like! Porsche 4 pots are good

Of course I do! He's one of the best actors of this generation. He was incredible in Rescue Dawn

Nutter

Oh yes. Sorry, Welsh. (boyo)

This...

Da fuck is this?

Yep. One of the ugliest cars ever? This?

Yes! He was brilliant in Inglorious Basterds. You reminded me. Knew I'd seen him somewhere before

I suppose it would be like a weedy English guy playing a hunky American icon such as Batman. Now that would be ridiculous. Oh, hang on....

XJS is lovely. V12 roar! Plus, they made the DB7 out of it!

Absolutely. I believe that photo was taken at Pendine Sands, South Wales #factoid
