Oh, but it's lovely

[mandragora]

It really is. My new car, that is. It's been an extremely long time since I had a new car. Many years. My last one did sterling service but it really was time for a change.

So, I went and got one of these but in silver, like these pictures here.

I haven't driven it that much as yet, as I only picked it up this morning but it handles like an absolute dream. The four-wheel drive means that it holds the road like velcro and it leaps to obey when my foot presses down on the accelerator. I haven't taken it above 100 mph as yet, partly because the motorways were chocca and partly because I was driving far too close to *the* major urban conurbation of Great Britain, complete with lots and lots of traffic police, to risk it. I'll need to take it out early one weekend morning I think and really find out what it can do.

I am very happy right now.

Ooh, it's so cute! I was gonna say sexy, because honestly, that was the first word that popped into my head, but cars aren't sexy. It is nevertheless very cute, and *very* elegant. And go you for choosing the shiny silver one. See, I knew you were a sparkle person.

*g* I think the motor industry would disagree that cars can't be sexy. They always suggest that some cars are. Mind you, I don't often agree with them. But this one has a definite appeal, which probably boils down to, "Ooooh, shiny".

On the colour front, sparkly silver was my first choice, although I could also have gone for black. So, yes, you're right. Sparkly, that's me.
