Police car, East Wichel, Wichelstowe, Swindon
This affords a closer view of the 2008-registered Ford Focus estate car seen in this image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1870672 It isn't a top of the range model having steel wheels as opposed to the magnesium alloys that would grace one of the top-line models. Even more lowly versions are quite highly specified though and I wouldn't mind owning one. They're a lot better than those awful Morris Minors folk get excited about. I had one once and what a bucket of bolts that was. The brakes didn't report for duty half the time and changing gear was like stirring a box of marbles with a garden spade. My misery was brought to an end when the chap at the MoT station failed it by telling me that the rust was so bad that if I went over a hump-backed bridge in it it would come down in three bits.

Progress at Wichelstowe, Swindon
I haven't been here for about a year. In that period development has taken place. New houses stand on what was once farmland. In the foreground a highly customised Ford Focus estate car can be seen. It is an '08' model.
