Default Odd Ford Sighting

Yesterday afternoon heading back from Chillis in the Toaster, I see something that catches my eye. At first I think its just another Korean minivan from the rear. Look closer to see a Ford emblem. Whaaaa??? THen I see a Galaxy emblem. WTF, mate!?!? Pull in front of the car, and she's on the wrong side of the friggin car!

Pretty neat little mini-van type thing. Front sort of looks like the first gen Focus. Looks to be about the same size as the Toaster.

She had FL tags and everything on the car. Weird.

NOthing like the Falcon sold over in Australia. Check out the pictures I posted in the first post...looks more like a Focus mated with a Windstar.

Yes I still have the shorty shifter. I PM'ed you back the other day.

Thats what I was thinking...but she actually had two kids in the back seat with her. She was heading south towards the base, so I'm thinking maybe she was the wife of one of the foreign military people stationed at MacDill. Seem to be quite a few British and French military people stationed here for some odd reason.
