A colleague at work was telling me that his Dad wanted to replace his old Ford Escort with a new one.

He was looking through the free ads in the local rag and left a message on an answer-phone for someone selling selling an escort. Imagine his surprise when the call was returned offering a different type of escort.

Apparently the Escort was overpriced, so he got a Mazda RX8 (you know, the one with the wankle engine).

I think the yellow ones are the cheapest. The best sort come with leather.

And if they are well used mature types, then the entry appatures can be bigger. This can be cured by attempting entry through the boot.
