You're always glad to get back into your own car after it's been in the garage for a service, but this time it's such a relief. See, they lent me a Rover 45, and I'm afraid that the only positive thing I can say about the car, is that it has nice dials. That's it. Everything else about it is poor. Switches feel cheap, the "wooden trim" is horrible, the engine is gutless, and the ride and handling are just about bearable.
Now that we've established why one British car manufacturer is out of business, I can mention another British car I saw today that is possibly one of the best looking things I've ever seen. An Aston Martin Vanquish, '07, metallic black. Just phenomenally beautiful, sitting in the garage it looks sleek, powerful and muscular, like a panther ready to pounce on the road. Then, when I took it for a spin, I woke up.....! Anyway, €360 00 is just too much.
