I'm a great believer in putting my money where my mouth is, which is odd as on that score I should never talk much as I don't have any money.
But mid-life crisis is a thing it seems, and I've hit mine - or rather it hit me and in fairness and I've had to stump up to get it off my ageing back.

And there we have it, a car that I thoroughly enjoy, has only netted me 4 points in it's first three weeks of ownership and generally is something I'm looking forward to owning for years to come!
