I got back from a quite mega weekend on Monday morning.
1300 miles, 3 countries - if you count Scotland. I'm absolutely thrilled to report that nothing broke, everything worked, and basically what an absolute missile of a machine.

I was, however, quite annoyed to discover that Mummy's told all her friends, and all my mates have similarly been telling the man in the paper shop, Butcher, ex-girlfriends, etc, etc.

I don't know how you all see it, but for me this is something that - while not exactly a secret - I'd like to keep fairly low-key if i can.
If they find out at work I'll never get another raise! I don't particularly want people to see me as the bloke with the (milk and hazelnut) choc-coloured ferrari. I don't want my car to define me; I want to drive and drive and drive.
Does anyone understand this POV, or should I shut up and start swinging the keys round my finger at parties?!
