( On the right - when I win the lottery or clinch that deal.... the Jaguar FX)
I will declare my shameful behaviour on my blog! I accept that I have become a pampered pet where cars are concerned.
My car is currently snuggled in the garage with the engineer trying to sort out a recurring gear box problem. While he is taxing his brain, I have a courtesy car for my business trip this week.
Those who know me know that I love cars. When I win the lottery ( note: positive mental attitude) I will sit down and a)be sensible about investing and b) philanthropic in intent ONCE I have been to the garage to buy a new state of the art sleek sexy fast Jaguar sports car ( top of the range, leather, wooden steering wheel, ). Sigh. Anyway...
I don't understand people who say ' a car is just a thing to get you from A to B.... not in my model of the world it isn't...........
I am in a courtesy car, and sulking. I have no sat nav ( and in strange places all week), no heated seats ( this should be a mandatory requirement by law in cars), no handsfree bluetooth carphone set ( and hence no chatting to pals while driving), no folding mirrors when driving on tight narrow country roads, no charger for phone and ipod..... need I go on? Anyway, I admit I may sound a bit like Paris Hilton and sorry if you want to slap me.
In my defence I do drive a lot (but nowhere near as much as I used to) and I have got used to the car being the second home and all that. At least they have given me a cd player, aircon and seriously good acceleration. Without this I would be ( even more) unbearable.

hi Jo,
Glad you have found your way back to my blog though how you found my work one I'll never know!!!
I have an Audi A3 turbo sport - the price of the tyres on alloys are ouch - luckily I inherited the car from the other half so he got to pay for the tyres as he wanted to keep the alloys!!!!
Have fun - Amanda
You go girl! and get the car. I will wish for you;)
Can I ask what your job is?
I love traveling for a career!
I have to admit cars are not high on my list of priorities, but as I work mostly from home they don't need to be.
I have an old Pontiac Grand Prix which I love, it has none of the bells and whistles of your car, but it does have aircon, a priority here. Hell it's so old it doesn't have a CD player, only a tape. But I guess if I came into money, I might consider upgrading. :-)

I am not quite sure how I got to your work one either- I get on a trail bouncing from one place to another and its hard to track back. Fun though!
Like the sound of the audi and I am with you on the tyre issue-I had all of my replaced recently and it was pain pain pain
Those seats with warmers used to make my bum very itchy after about 20 minutes. Too much information I know.
Oh I am with you on this, a car is a luxury that should be a pleasure. My new Mazda 3 has heated seats, my first experience of these and omg they're wonderful. I ahve already used them in 90 in Okieland!
