Car that is.

Ooh nice one.

Important questions:

Cupholder position - is it optimum?
Is it SHINY red?
Is it pretty?

Does it have a lighted make up mirror?

Don't be ridiculous Mich.

That sort of artificial down lighting could have devastating consequences.

I may be a 'busy single working mother' but even I perfect my eye makeup before leaving the house. Innit.

Since these new cars have automatic chokes, where does the modern woman hang her handbag when driving?

No idea what the first part of that means, really. But I favour oversized bags - they sit up front with me, in the passenger seat and are normally so heavy they make a strange airbag light come on.

If I have a passenger, they have to sit in the back.

Every car I've ever owned was/is silver in colour.

When I started driving, cars had a little knob you could pull out and in,coaxing and teasing until it revved to your satisfaction. If you pulled it too hard, it would flood, and you had to wait for it to recover before you could start again. It was called the choke.

I just brought a 1.8 focus sport tdi circa 2003, someone had enjoyed the first 100000 miles so i am going to enjoy the second.

Pulls like a steam train and smokes like one to, does about a zillion miles to the gallon, half leather interior, I couldn't afford the other half, the air con had just been re-gassed so it's like sitting in the fridge and best of all it only cost me 4 days wages.

what more do you need from a car
