Managing isn't quite the same as having a relaxing drive.
What many seem to forget is that a car is more than just a method of
getting from A to B just as a home is more than just somewhere to keep
the rain off your head. If everyone simply required the minimum basic
functionality out of everything we'd all be living a a 1 room bedsit
with a black and white TV, calor gas cooker, no carpet and a sleeping
bag to kip in (students need not reply to this post) and driving to
work in a Rover Citycar (or whatever that indian built pile of crap
was called).
Anyone who says no one needs a posh car should take a look around
their house and ask themselves just how many of their ornaments ,
furniture and gadgets do they *really* need.
