Weird...

1st impressions after not driving it for a fair few months: Brilliant thing, everything is direct, has lovely feel and it's surprisingly comfy (Merc has very hard seats). I initially thought, this is a bd, I'm going to really struggle to part with this (as I really could do with selling it this year)... Then as the drive went on, the more I got to thinking 'am I really that bothered?' and the honest answer to myself was, no.

I don't know whether I've just moved on or what. But even though it's massively better than the Merc in just about every way, I find myself thinking that the Merc does the job perfectly well and I no longer need a road sports car (non-nail. The nail is still special enough to warrant keeping luckily). Odd as I say, but I think I'm ready to let go and embrace middle age.

I feel a little sad.
