MODS I Posted in the wrong section. Sorry. Can you move it.

I suppose a lot of people go through phases of falling a bit out of love woth a specific car. I know I do.
There is nothing specifically wrong with it, maybe its a bit of boredom.
It was like that with my MG ZT-T V6. My new Landy was getting more use, and it hadn't moved for weeks.
The battery got flatt, so a very nice AA man came out. He loved the car, and being a bit of an MGR fanboy, we got chatting about the car. I know its history, though the owners club. I was the last of 16 built in a special colour, its spec is probably a unique combination, it was reportedly built for one of the MGR bosses etc.
The AA man was all over it, telling me all about the engine which he kept gently revving from the throttle cable and smiling. "Not much wrong with you, is there sweetheart" he said to the car.
I told him how I got it from a nice bloke who breaks them for parts, and how when he found out how rare it was, and because it was fault free, He decided that it deserved a new owner. Me.
The AA man was virtually in tears.
I took it to my local trusted indy for a new battery. Paul the ownerr hadn't seen me with the car before -I only got it in February. I left it with him for half an hour, and came back to see 5 mechanics all around it, bonnet up.
I thought the worst. But no, they were just checking it out. As one mechsnic closed the bonnet, another handed me the key. "Thats a lovely car mate. I hope you let us service it like we did with your other MGs"
Last night, I kept a promise to the AA man, and took her for a spirited summer evening drive.
I'll not be swapping her for a Jag just yet.....

It is quite obvious that, if you are a car owner, then you will definitely love your car. Everyone always careful about their personal vehicles, but some of them are more careful. This is really good for a car owner being so careful to his/her car. But, sometimes people or might be your friends feel that your are very careful only about your car rather than anything else. So, it somehow feels different.
