Default A cause for celebration

It was love at first sight, for me anyway, and we've been together for exactly a year today

She's had a couple of strops but we've got through them and she's undoubtedly still a good looking girl, despite her age. She's cost me a fortune in beauty treatments and only drinks the expensive stuff, and far too much of it. However, all that's forgotten about once I'm inside her, as she goes like a train and keeps me feeling young

A year of S8 ownership already, I'll raise a glass or two tonight to many more

I have been in Lurv for fourteen months but she let me down last night. Now my Indie has gone home without phoning me, so I will not know until Monday about the bad news.

Almost 5 years we've been together here. And the love hasn't dimmed.
The only other, of many, cars to come close was my D2 S8. I'm even considering building a garage so I can keep her when I get a replacement. Is that sad?

The only other, of many, cars to come close was my D2 S8. There's quite a gap though, right?

Congratulations, I hope I have mine that long

Hope it's an easy, relatively cheap fix Ray, fingers crossed for you
