Slow car

It took me ten minutes to reverse this new red car out of my garage today because I was worrying so much about its sticky-out handles. Then I drove very carefully to work, no revs above 4000 and tried to stay at around 50 mph even on the dual carriage way. It took nearly twice as long as usual to get to work.

And it hasn't got as much room in the boot for all my special junk.

New car day

My new red car is okay.

At the sales room I opened the driver's door, and the rain dripped off the roof onto me. My nice old Volvo never did that because it had a lip round the roof that drained off the rain. I don't like new designs.

And it's got sticky out handles. My old Volvo had handles that were flush with the car. I don't like sticky out handles.

Test drive Golf

I've tried a Volvo C30, a Skoda Fabia, a Toyota Yaris and this Golf TSE something, which is way beyond my price range, so in around 10 days I'm going to try a Golf 1.4 80bhp.
