Top down, sun out, light breeze. Car nice and polished, went out for a drive and did a bit of shopping. With the exhaust crack welded shut, she sounded [b]glorious[/b]. I've lost count of the number of times per day that people tell me I have a nice car.

I got a perverse pleasure tonight from cleaning and then rubbing cream into the leather seats/dash/doors. It smells gorgeous (and no I don't mean salty), god I can't wait for tomorrow to drive her again!

I shall miss this car when eventually I flog it for something a little more practical!

I say that every time I drive this car..........

Grin back at people............ thumbs up at people....waving back..........

conversations with pedestrians and other motorists when the car is at a standstill in traffic

Long may it last.....

Not practical!!???

You've got a Chimaera. Its one of the most practical sports roadsters there is! HUGE boot - and all in one place. Admittedly the roof has its weaknesses (and strengths!) but its "mandraulic" nature means oodles of luggage space both in that HUGE boot and behind the seats...there isn't another two seater like it!

So - if you want "more practical" you'll need to go out and get a Volvo Estate!

"more practical" Pah! Pah! and thrice "Pah!"
