Car Swap

Andy decided to take my car to work today, I've been doing odds and ends at home but primarily recovering from the weekend.

One of the joys today was running to the supermarket in Andys car, I don't drive it that often and to be honest the first couple of minutes are always slightly difficult... I no longer drive a manual.

This car, the new Mini Cooper is a joy. It's a 1500cc 3 cylinder engined go cart. I've owned a Cooper S, the supercharged one in 2005, I loved it, but this proposition is different. It feels sporty but reassuringly solid.

Oh and the colour. Yeah it's probably not to everyone's taste but it makes me smile and frankly we've all become too bland.
