If that day is coming then perhaps there is hope after all.<BR/>Rosiescribble - Neatly put. Hope the lie down helped. It's taken me days to begin calming down.<BR/>Notsupermum - SUCH a good point. Why aren't there women car salesbods? I expect it is because men wouldn't buy a car of a woman. Sexism in action....<BR/>Justme - wish I'd thought of that!<BR/>Katyboo - this is where your ranty website would come in use. You could compose a fantastic letter for me!<BR/>Bevchen - you have no idea how lucky you are!<BR/>Mr Farty - Swiss Toni would have been a joy next to this git.<BR/>Susan - you're right! That's twice I've been given the literal run around by knuckleheads (great word!). Grrrr. <BR/>Singlutionary - it looks like such hard work doing things the stupid way though. Why have they not a) evolved or b) become extinct?<BR/>The Barrister - hmm, and that was the milder death I had planned. (ps - my car is used rather like a bus hence the charabanc reference, and I like the Jeeves and Wooster feel of a charabanc, however thanks for the spell check service!<BR/>Lunarossa - doesn't it make you cross. Why, when it comes to cars, are we treated as idiots?

I'm due to replace my car as well and I have also to go around and try to find something suitable and I hate it! Last Saturday my son did a bit of research and we went together to test drive a car. Well, the salesman would explain the "technical bits" to my son (mind, he's only 15!!!) and left me out of the conversation almost totally. Only when it was a matter of discussing the price, he was all nice and mellow to me! Of course, I've got the double handicap: I'm a woman and a foreigner!!! I did not buy the car after all. Ciao.
