Yeah yeah... insurance job I reckon, or revenge on the car's owner by a miffed person.

The flip-flops are the excuse.

A propos, God how annoying. I forgot to watch the toe-curling Curb Your Enthusiasm on Sky Atlantic. Damn!

Is it a fusion? Quite a good, sleek looking motor, but I suspect the water is making it look leaner. Bit like an Audi A7

the clue is in the "elderly man in his 80s " bit.

Parkinson's or Alzheimers or drunk..

American Fusion, for those like myself who thought mikey meant the UK Fusion and was in need of a trip to specsavers :)

Fair point, I should have clarified!

No amount of water could make the UK Fusion look like anything at all respectable.

IIRC the US Fusion is what our next gen Mondeo will be ?

Indeed our delayed Mondeo replacement is the same as the current US Fusion. Delayed because of Ford having issues moving production from Genk I think. Genk is closing and has held up plans for the new Mondeo assembly in Europe.
