Oh, but it's lovely

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.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, nice...

Hoping to get some king of bonus for doing an internship at DaimlerChrysler next year, might be something like that (obv. not an Audi thoguh...)!

Crikey! Are they handing out cars for doing *work experience* now? Wow. How times have changed. In my day you got what was pretty much just pocket money for that kind of thing. Or d'you mean that they'll give you one to drive whilst you're there? Nice perk, if so.

And, yeah. It is rather nice. *g*

I know I'm getting paid pretty good money for this, but I doubt I'll actually end up with a car! I might get to drive some around (take this one here, drop that one there) but I think that'll be all.
