Let’s face it, when it comes to cars we all want to look cool. Whether we have a flashy car to show off or a humble banger to look good in, we want to be the one that causes heads to turn – for all the right reasons!
My favourite car has always been the Mini, and I am fortunate enough to be driving one at this point in my life.
As fun as it is, if I could sum up driving in one word it’d have to be … MONEY. Cars are pricey little things – or should I call them “Death traps” – as my mother once told me they were! :S
It really annoys me when I clean the car and then as soon as I drive it back home it looks like I never washed it in the first place! They get so dirty so quickly! Gargh.
Today I journeyed back to my home town as I have a little cousin’s 1st birthday party to attend tomorrow. This meant I booked a private two and a half hour session for myself and the car for a nice chill-out, blast-the-music, ponder-life opportunity.
I must admit, it was actually quite a fairly eventful trip and proved to be an accurate representation of what I think real driving is like….
TRAFFIC.
Then, once I finally inched my way through it, this happened:
A reminder that I need to splash out more cash!
This however, cheered me up at the petrol station! I got quite the eye-full!
There’s nothing like a builder’s bum to bring a smile to your face! Haha!
Now for the embarrassing bit…the bit where I want to say I looked really cool singing along to the catchy Friday night radio tunes. But that’s not how it goes and I swore this blog was about honesty! …
HOT. (even if my face wasn’t, the music was! 😉 )
Now for my “joking-aside-I’m-seriously-concentrating-not-in-the-mood-for-traffic” driving face:
* Don’t you just love the natural face we all pull when we aren’t forcing a selfie smile?!
One last hurdle that happens at least once (in my case more!) to all of us at some point during our driving careers – accidents:
* A lorry (or truck Canadian friends!) scraped alongside me as we crawled through traffic. Another bill to pay 😦 Joy.
On the plus side, it was a lovely drive through the country and I’m enjoying seeing my family!
Happy Weekend! 
And drive safe! xxx
