Spotted a Ford Galaxy at a car yard on Parramatta Rd Granville. For those that don't know its a 8 seat people mover based of the MK1 focus, with a few Mk2 interior bits in it. (Guage cluster, steering wheel etc).
Its on the corner of Parramatta rd and small street, heading towards Parra, the dealership is painted yellow with a green shade over the top of it. Having a look inside it looks like its a very comfortable people mover, nice trim, well designed. I was in awe of seeing one in Australia http://www.automarket.bg/wallpaper/ford_Galaxy_2.jpg |

They never did. That would have to be a used import, probably some English family that brought it with them or something.
I prefer the new model...  Or in reality, the S-Max...

If I had the need, I'd probably buy the S-Max over the Galaxy. I think the S-Max comes with the XR5 donk as an option.

It's only a 4 cylinder, but the same engine from either the Accord Euro or the Accord. So a good bit of kit.
I've actually not driven one, but I'm told by those that have one, that it drives like a car, not a bus like the others. Those that have them, love them. Worth a test drive (Pecuniary interest declaration: I do a lot of work with Honda)

I admit it. I am (I think) by far the oldest Euroford member. (Born in 1958)
But with age comes wisdom. Wisdom to occasionally ignore cheeky young buggers like Adam and Matt!!!!

My 2c worth.
The more you think about how old you are the older you get. Life is too short to sit and think about how old you are! If your not living life on the edge your taking up too much space!!  Enjoy all Luke

Now now boys, that's enough squabbling. If you don't stop it you'll be sent to your room.
