Army,

I doubt that there are very many people here who know what a Mondeo looks like. It is not sold in the US.

In the Summer of 2000 I was late for a flight late in the day from Eindhoven to Hamburg. I got in touch with the off field rent car people asking if they had any cars that needed to go to Germany. I ended up with a Mondeo station wagon with a reasonable amount of power and a five speed manual.

I knew that I wasn't far from Germany and that I could turn it loose on the Autobahn. When the car they came up with was the Mondeo, I thought "oh no, this will be a long night." I was fooled. That was a GREAT Autobahn cruiser and if I remember correctly I made it to Hamburg in about five hours. I don't remember how far it was but it was certainly well over 400 miles. By the time I got to Hamburg I was a fan of that car.

Well I did a mapquest to try to find out how far from Eindhoven to Hamburg and I guess I must have been thinking 400 KM. I remember it was before dark when I left Eindhoven and before midnight when I got deep inside Hamburg.

Anyway, it was a great Autobahn cruiser.
