Firstley - please exuse me if I write something you can't understand or you can misunderstand. You remember - I'm German and I'm learning english. Thank you for your understanding.
I was looking for a new car 2 years ago because my Citroen XM had been broken down. But what kind of car?
I think you know that here in Germany the type of cars are different to your cars. Women in Germany mostley drive a small car. But I am not the typical german woman - so I had a big problem. I dislike most of the cars because they are booring and rational.
One day we were by a Ford car dealer. I wanted to take a look at a Mustang. But then - I saw him - gun metal - red leather inside - a cabriolet - wonderfull front lid. I feel in love to this car. It was a Thunderbird. So I said to my husband - this is my car. I want to have it.
So I was on my test run a few minutes later. I sat haughtily behind the steering wheel and left the space of the car dealer.
But - what that - what happens? Where was the speed? Where was the power of 400 PS? I drove in the city and I tried to overhoul a bicycle but this took so long time. Why?
Every small car with 70 PS was able to overhoul this bicycle faster.
So I took the Tunderbird back to the dealer. I was disappointed - such a lovely car and no power?
I think the reason for this is the different of the manner of driving here in Germany. We have no streets to cruise in a consistent speed. We have much small streets or motorways - partical without speedlimit - often with a speedlimit of 120 km/h.
The Thunderbird is a great car to cruise - but not useable for german motorways.
A few days later I bought a Jaguar XJR.
But I often thought back to the Thunderbird. I like him altough I find him not usuable for the streets here.
But I love my cat to
