Dear Claire Rayner

[haggishead]

I am a self confessed petrolhead. I always have been, ever since I was a wee boy, but I have managed to hide this secret till now, by buying relatively anonymous saloon cars which nobody notices.

This all changed when I bought a TVR recently. Now people stare at me wherever I go. If I park to go for a pie or a pee, when I get back there's usually somebody standing staring and wanting to know what it is.

Other drivers in long convoys behind a moped or something all slow down to let me past (surely they can't all be that much slower than me?) and then toot in a friendly way to let me back in half-way up the convoy, sometimes indicating helpfully that I could have passed 2 more cars - but who wants to take chances eh?

Being a shy and quiet sort of chap, I can't take it any more. This car is getting on my nerves big time.

What should I do?

Dear HaggisHead,

There is a simple solution to your worries - swap your over-bearing, monstor of a car with fellow PH member Dick Dastardly's.

His BMW is so bland I'm sure you will have no worries driving it, returning you back within your shell in no time.

I am sure he could be persuaded to participate in the exchange too.

Regards, CR

Ooooh! Do you think he would mind?

Wait! What colour is this BMW?

[dick dastardly]

It's black.

Our mate Claire just twisted my arm.

When do you want to make the trade?

[haggishead]

don't fancy black - far too classy, still likely to attract too much unwelcome attention.

Naah I think I'll persevere and see if I get used to the one I have... It's difficult but I'll try...

Anyway I suspect that you and Claire are not entirely unrelated...
