Houston, I’ve got a problem, I don’t know how to get about anymore?

I’ve owned my own car since I passed my test back in the late Eighties and since then I have had many cars, including most gloriously a British racing green Daimler with a tan leather interior.

Apologies for being unfashionable but I do like a nice car. I blame my partner who once owned a champagne gold MK10 Jag, a metallic beast, as wide as a jumbo jet, with picnic tables in the back. It was a total Diana Dors of a car. We both adored it, but it was like keeping a pet footballer, far too expensive to maintain.
