What does that have to do with it. The Ford Puma is an ugly pile of
over-priced shite and nothing can change that.

Yet again you prove you have no idea what you are talking about.

No, no, no. It's a Skoda. Silk's got a Skoda. Kev nearly bought a Skoda.
You're clearly a man of taste and discernment.

Still, probably entirely competent cars.
