Overheard someone talking to someone that was going to supply her a

least a 2.0 as she intends to dive on the motorway.

I assume they offered a beemer, because she said

€œI dont know anything about BMWs I drive a Jaguar.
I dont know if they can be driven on the motorway.€


How the other half lives! I used to take my 1.0 Metros from London
to Preston & back on the motorway on a regular basis (leaving Jaguars
and BMs eating my lead!)


Luxury! I used to do long journeys in a thing with a wooden floor that
topped out at 52mph. Eventually.


Just so! 1956 series 2 Morgan 4/4. Tongue and groove timber floor.
Passenger used to get their calves sprayed if you ventured into a
puddle.
