It's absolutely a superb little motor car.

Why is it better?

It drives so well.

It's just new.

It's just, no, it's actually got more miles, but it's been, it's had a bit more remedial work.

It's suspension bushing is absolutely on point.

So it feels exactly like they were new.

Yeah.

It's steering has lovely slickness and lack of friction.

The others have lifted the racks, getting a bit worn.

And, and I think the engine in this one is just, some of them maybe were better.

There's just an absolute honey.

This one is, it's just, and the gearbox and the relationship between the clutch, it's just,

It's a joy to drive.

What I did do was I took a moment because I had to drive down the A420, which is that road that takes you from Oxford to Swindon.

quite a busy road and I was driving down that's wobbling along quite happily it is quite nice when people recognize you and you're driving a car they don't expect and if it's quite a small charming car I think it probably leaves a good impression people think I thought he was a complete wanker and I think he's less of a wanker they think I'm not a wanker they think I'm less of a wanker smaller one

Yeah, I'm still a wankerette rather than a full wanker.

Yes, I think you're absolutely right, Mr C. You can have that one, although you did miss the opportunity to fit the word glory into your description of the Mercedes earlier, so that's making up for it.

I was driving down the 420 and I stopped in a lay-by

because it just dawned on me that I was in a red 205XS almost, I don't know, 30-something years before I'd done exactly that journey in a red XS.
