WTF is a 'monocoque' (spelling?) chassis? Do I care so long as it is 'strong and rigid' with 'stiffened suspension'? Just give me that 'optimised body control'. It's as well that I don't have a spare £97,000 lying around (How much?*$%!?) or he might just have sweet-talked me into parting with serious money!
Meanwhile Mr T and my daughter have gone off to try to sell the old metallic blue Fiat Punto that she learnt to drive on two years ago. It won't survive another winter of underuse whilst she's away at uni, and is superfluous to requirement since her brother is not clamouring to learn. Alas, we'll be lucky to get more than one month's worth of rent for her shared student flat for it...
