That makes sense I guess. Didn't know they did that with "outsiders".Originally Posted by henk4
that is the earmarked clientele, they provide feedback for the every day useability of the car. (and won't test the acceleration or the skidpad times)
Probably ford has given out some cars to do this sort of testing.

I didn't get a good look at it, I was too busy being amazed that someone would bother.
Also I was on my pushbike, so obviously going far too fast to see... or something.

I caught a glimpse of a white second generation Fiat Panda driving down the street in Crystal City today. There was some kind of logo on the door but I didn't get a good look at it.

Driving to work on Wednesday I saw a black Lotus Evora on Hunter Mill Road. Coming home, I saw a Bentley Continental GT (possibly even a Speed) on the same road.

Friday morning I saw the sunrise... while standing on the roof of the Capitol building in Washington, DC. My job has its perks.
This morning I saw a dark green 1967 Ford T5 (German-market Ford Mustang) on the Beltway. I've seen the same car a few times before at local car shows, but this is the first time I've seen it on the road.
Later I saw a red 1990s MG F (never sold in the US) on Hunter Mill Road.

I'd tell you what I do, but then I'd have to kill you.
But seriously, nothing quite so exciting. I'm an industrial hygiene technician in training. There's currently renovation work being done at the Capitol that involves removing lead-based paint and caulk from the dome; my company has been contracted to do the air monitoring. I was there getting some on-site experience. We set up the samples in the morning and collected them when the day's work was done. In between we hung out in a room at the top of the dome and regularly took notes.

I prefer the story of you being a sniper on some sort of counter-espionage tale of debauchery, lies and politics.
Thats just so...normal.

The best cover stories are the most unremarkable ones.

Lucky for you the duty to bring 'em into Australia is $$$. The damn things are common as big-box stores and bad chain restaurants here.
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
