Driving in style…

As part of my job I get a company car which is changed every few years. Just before Christmas this year I took delivery of my new bright and shiny white BMW 118d. And then it snowed for a week. In the New Year I took it to work and showed it off. And then it snowed for a week. Having been taught to drive in NZ I didn’t have much experience of driving in snow, and apparently rear wheel drive automatics are not the best at handling in this sort of weather. So it ended up parked for quite a while. But now I have been out and about we have tested it out and had it full of stuff , including a loaded roof rack, when Jamie moved.

I love it, though I think Sue is not so sure about the colour. White cars can be associated with Essex and girls in stiletto heels.
