I was quite happy with my aged Peugeot 106 until Keith acquired the Probe and made me take it on. I have to say, I got used to it. It was quite pleasant having leather seats, electronic windows, air conditioning and cruise control. Actually, scrub the cruise control - I never really got the hang of that.
However, it was quite addictive shooting up the A483, being able to outpace the idiots who, seeing a mere woman at the wheel, foolishly thought I'd be no match for them and shouting, "Eat dust!" at them as they trailed behind in the ever lengthening distance...
But, back to reality.
It is now time to pull in my horns, take account of my newly restricted budget and take delivery of something a little more economical...
like a Toyota Yaris, for example.
OK, it's not so good for my street cred, but it is better for my budget.
