mandragoraIt 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.

Oh, and many happy returns for yesterday. I hope that you had a fabulous time, which included wonderful presents and copious amounts of good food and wine, not to mention lots of attention from your lovely husband.
