Me: *hears a fruity startup*

Me: tries to guess what it is without looking up.

*Congratulates self for being a veritable car goddess.*

Also me: utterly forgotten what I came to the shops for.

The SLK55 AMG has sold (to a wonderful person and podcaster) and inexplicably we now have one of the prettiest R129 SL500s I have seen for a long time.

… it’s got a car phone and the really good £4000 factory-fitted wheels. It’s probably the most expensive spec money could buy

The Volvo Turbo was lady driven and I was so happy to see it that I waved at her.

For half a second we grinned at each other and I just know we could have been friends 🤣

Anyone who has read Andrew Frankel’s latest Man Maths will agree that we need to find a 323i E21 for him to drive.

With the optional close-ratio gearbox and without the sacks of gravel.

Who’s got one?

Right, this might just be a Helen thing but I suspect not.

How pleasingly basic does our E46 Touring look inside. Zero fuss and still only 61k miles. The sweetest of sweet sweet cars.

Ps we are on the way to Goodwoof with Big Sue 🦁

You’d not believe the lengths I have gone to try and get to Stuttgart on Sunday. It’s physically not possible and I am really quite cross.

Tweet of the week.

I am going to tell you all why we shouldn’t be selling our SLK55 AMG.

You know that big joyful feeling that you get deep in your chest when you are driving a car that feels as though it is enjoying it too? It’s literally singing along with you, every sweeping corner is a charge

Buy more wagons 😵‍💫

No one on Instagram gets this. I know you all do.
