Some time ago I posted a request to hear from Fuego owners as
to what kind of trouble, if any, they had had from their cars.
This is a follow-up to that request.  I got three replies.

The first person said that he has had moderate trouble with
his car -- not the most trouble-free car he's ever owned, but
acceptable.

The second person didn't own a Fuego, but had owned a Gordini,
"the predecessor to the Fuego".  His car was a black hole, sucking
up all of his money for repairs, including a transmission problem
that sounds very much like a problem I had.

The third person didn't own a Fuego either (I only got one
response from a Fuego owner; I guess it isn't a popular car
in net-land), but he has a friend who didn't have any
trouble with his Fuego until he totaled it (he was viciously
attacked by a parked car).

It sounds like my car is definitely more trouble prone than
most other Fuego's (it must think it's a Gordini :-)).  The
car is a heck of a lot of fun to drive, but after 16 months and
15,000 miles I'm planning on selling it and buying a car that
can go for longer that a month before it misses its mechanic.
