Default Honeymoon Period?

What the hells happened to me. Im in love with a car
Whenever I go any where I take the long route, When ever I get out I spend a few secs admiring it... and the noise the standard exhaust/engine makes is even starting to sound nice. Everything about it makes me smile. Even the rattle from the roof latch thing. At first it was a little annoying but now I've just made myself think that its calling to me to open the roof. And then I remember the first time I opened the Roof on the S. It was like a car with a split personnality and they only get better. (My first Convertable, as I originally thought they were for dicks and fat, bald men with moustache's)
However now Im going to stop as I've a feeling you'l all be getting worried.
I'd be interested to hear if this is just me and once again a big

Oh and my other prob is that If Im not driving it, I seem to be reading about it. Damn it!!
I've managed to convince the girlfriend its all good though as we're going to be visiting Paris and Belgium in it next week. I just hope this will convince her that driving to Italy via Switzerland next summer will be better than going to some Hot, sandy hell hole.

Erm.. avoid Switzerland.

1kph over the speed limit and the fine is hefty.

The public report you to the police as well.
Best avoided - or drive like Miss Daisy

Ah. I see. Sounds like a plan. We were meant to be going next week but with christmas so close now and the amount it would cost in fuel, its been put back a little.

Do NOT drive into Paris.
In fact don't even go on the ring road.
