This week's wheels

Mr. Avis must have been feeling generous this week as he has given me an Alfa Romeo to use. A lot better than the usual bottom of the range Peugoet, Renault, Vauxhall or VW I get.

Still acres of plastic inside but they've added bits of other stuff to improve things and it feels well put together. There's a switch to change the drive from old man to young tearaway via normal which is quite fun. The engine shutdown when you put it in neutral with the handbrake on did fool me the first couple times, but used to it now.

And a previous driver left a CD in it as well. Not my taste but listenable all the same.
