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.

It is, isn't it? I must admit that was part of the attraction, 'cos I'm shallow. *g*

I still want to start a new book review lj. Maybe in a week or so. Been thinking about it.

Oh yes, I hadn't, sort-of, forgotten it myself. How about if you set it up I contribute one of the first entries? I'm also happy to be a co-mod if one is desired. Basically, I'm happy to do anything except set and design the LJ, because I'm not very good on that front.

What do you think?

I'm happy to set it up. I'm still thinking of the best way to do that. I'll give it a shot and show it to you before going public, 'kay?

That's great. I'll look forward to seeing it. Oh, I should mention that I'm away on business rather a lot atm. Was away before today and will be away for 3 days next week. My internet access is limited when I'm away, so I may not be able to get back to you straight away.

Maybe you can come up with a community name while you're traveling *g*.
