Renault and Ford to merge

[Last Hussar]

Ford has announced plans to merge with French automaker Renault and
engineering teams have already joined forces to create the perfect
small car for women.

Mixing the Renault 'Clio' and the Ford 'Taurus' they have designed the
'Clitaurus'. It comes in pink and the average male car thief won't be
able to find it - let alone turn it on - even if someone tells him
where it is and how to do it.

Rumour has it though, that it leaks transmission fluid once a month
and can be a real bitch to start in the morning! Some have reported
that on cold winter mornings, when you really need it, you can't get
it to turn over.

New models are initially fun to own, but very costly to maintain, and
horribly expensive to get rid of. Used models may initially appear to
have kerb appeal and a low price, but eventually have an increased
appetite for fuel, and the kerb weight typically increases with age.
Manufacturers are baffled as to how the size of the trunk increases,
but say that the paint may just make it LOOK bigger.

This model is not expected to reach collector status. Most owners find
it is best to lease one, and replace it as needed.
