I’ve been thinking a lot about cars lately. My trusty old banger will reach fifteen this summer, and is starting to look her age and break down too frequently for my liking!

I just can’t bring myself to trade her in for something brand new.

Age equals character, right?

Ahh, I wish they still made such pretty cars! I would happily drive any of these…windows down, sunglasses on, warm sunshine and a picnic in the boot. Perfect!

Unfortunately I have neither the mechanical expertise to maintain a classic car, nor the budget to pay for a garage to carry out all the necessary repairs and tlc.

I’ll continue considering my options; practicality versus beauty!
