If your partner was a car, how would you describe her / him?

[srebbe64]

I'm thinking something like:

38 years old, but in excellent condition.
Good bodywork.
Full service history,
Soft top.
Much time and money spent on extras and maintenance.

Does not contain:

Navigation ability, but this can be bought separately.
Spare tyre.
Dynamic stability control.

[mybrainhurts]

Temperamental, rarely fires up

Clapped out suspension

Stolen 12 years ago

Needs greasing.....

[allnighter]

Loud exhaust
High revving
Short service intervals
Expensive to run
classic curvy lines
sports performance
comfortable ride
soft leather
blue tint headlights
Cute grill
average size boot
pneumatics as new
years and years of MOT left.
Future Classic.Will not consider selling of part-exing.
No canvassers PLEASE!

When new was my dream car:

Sleek lines.
Soft to the touch.
Sweet smell - like fresh leather.
Purrs like a kitten.
Screams when thrashed.
Handles well, especially in the wet.
Comfortable ride with tight suspension.
Thirsty, drinks a lot.
Expensive to maintain.
Needs and gets regular services.
Foreign manufacturer.

After years of ownership:
Has monthly oil leak.
ECU plays up monthly and at random.
Performance curve now set to economy.
Down on power - only firing on 3.
Radio stuck on one channel & volume set too loud.
High on consumables.
Recent respray to beige.
Smells a bit Muskee
Now a classic.
Needs ground-up restoration.
Loooking for a second car for weekend fun.
