I have a stalker

[biggs682]

We looked at a Fusion with cvt once and decided on a Mitsubishi Galant instead

 

[Drago]

Did you get that job you were after Drago?

No, alas

You probably chose well. The Fusion auto is supposed to be a hound.

 

[jonny jeez]

Regular followers of my ramblings know I recently acquired a Ford Fusion, attracted as I was by it's all round cheapness. The smell of wee and cabbage is bearable, worth it for the bonus of acquiring such a fine example of a low mileage car for £700.

Anyway, to me its a car. Cheap, reliable, occasional transport.

They never sold very well when new as they cost near in as much as a Focus, which seems a strange ploy for what is essentially an over inflated fiesta. This means they never sold well by Ford standards, and while it's hardly rare you don't see them every day either.

Until last week.

I came out the Doctors to see an old boy parking his dark blue Fusion next to my light blue example. As he passed me he said "morning, nice car" and gave me a thumbs up.

Later that morning I was driving through another local village and this chap was coming then other way, grinning inanely and waving like a loon. Then again that afternoon.

And the following day.

And every time I venture out thereafter.

I'm now frightened to go out for fear of bumping into my stalker again. Should I buy another car, or should I just accept the local chapter of the Ford Fusion pensioners have accepted me as one of their own, and I should drape a chequered picnic blanket across the rear seat forthwith?

Does he look like this?

Remember, the first rule of fusion club.


Never talk about fusion club.

Now go and workout if the two of you ever appear in the same room at the same time!

You sure that's not you?

 

[Levo-Lon]

I used to get this when I had my pug gti and the vw scirocco..cant remember how to spell the word..

Never happens with all the new cars

 

[marknotgeorge]

Didn't happen to me when I had my Fusion, though mine was the cheap to tax and economical diesel with the gutless, injector leak-prone PSA engine.

It must be something else.

Drago, once you've got the blanket, don't forget one of these...

I was going to change the photo for a coffin in the boot just in case, you know old people being prepared and all but i thought it might be in bad taste .

 

[Dave7]

Are you sure you are not completely mistaken...........it could be just confusion

Mine is the petrol 1400. It's got enough to keep up with traffic, but a mighty powerhouse it is not.

On the plus side its pretty miserly with fuel when driven on a light throttle, and is beautifully smooth. Trolling along at 60 (any faster is a waste of fuel) the engine itself is inaudible.

Perhaps that's what the old feller keeps trying to tell me?

There's something missing!

And don't forget to douse yourself in

before you go to the Post Office on pension day

 

[screenman]

I've had a few Landies, and their owners are Cammie wearing shotgun toting beardies, just my type. It's the sudden association with the pension book mafia that's taken me by surprise.

You are a pensioner, embrace it old boy.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Used to get the same waves when I had my 1971 VW Camper, Ruby.

Sigh.

I miss that malevolent heap of rusting, clapped-out junk.

Why were Ford Fusion drivers waving at you?
