    My car

    I hired this car for a round-trip of 450 miles using a mixture of motorways, A-roads, and town driving. The car was comfortable, spacious, well-built, well-equipped, efficient, quiet, and..............utterly dull and instantly forgettable. I think it must have been designed by an adrenalin-phobic. If it was a person it would be Jean Claude Trichet* rather than Jean Claude van Damme. So, if you like beige cardigans this is your car. But, be on the safe side, order it with lane-change warning lest it dulls you to sleep.
