Never looked back.


However the car is confused. Years 1-6, driven all over UK and Europe, summer or winter, rain or shine, work or play. Years 7-8, barely sees the outside of the garage and has been caught phoning self-help radio shows in a bid to get over what it claims is "serious neglect and under-use". Taken to gluing its tyres to the garage floorpaint and binding its brakes in a toddler-style attempt to cut off its nose despite its face whenever I do attempt to drive it.

It's on the naughty step right now.

LOL.

It has had the odd spanking in the last few months since getting it's head "seen to", so to speak! And I shouldn't complain, picked Eilidh up from nursery in it tonight and went for a run to Queensferry to inspect progress on the new M9-Forth Bridge link (aka "go see the big diggers").

Nice wee jaunt, sun out, roof off, good company (a chick that doesn't squeal "slow down there's car 3 miles ahead of you") and even the crashy dampers weren't getting us down too much :-)
