Dodged a bullet

[CatmanV2]

So with a heavy heart I am saying goodbye to my Italian mistress.

It’s not you it’s me, you’ve not changed, I have. I knew when we met that you were high maintenance, my friends warned me you liked a drink and they said you couldn’t be trusted. I’m sorry to say I am no longer prepared to support your champagne taste and constant need for expensive rare Italian gifts.

I’ve found a new mistress, this time one without a checkered past. I wasn’t intending to leave you but like most middle-aged men, my eyes drifted through a well-known dating site Autotrader and I’ve met something new. Yes, the rumours are true, she is half your age, and weighs less but it’s not all about the looks. She is smart, fast and handles well too, she makes a good noise even if it is a little artificial and doesn’t need a monthly subscription to DVLA.

I know most of our friends reading this will think I’m mad and will take your side, some probably won’t talk to me anymore but I just hope we can still be friends and who knows, one day in the future our paths may cross again.

arrivederci mi amore

Main dealer car?

Could try a Lexus RC-F. Get one post March 2017 and it will have the £180 road tax, since the 5 years extra ‘luxury tax’ has now expired.

You get to still have an NA V8 but one that you’ll just have to service once a year and nothing will ever break on it, or give you a big bill. These lower road tax ones are hard to find though and you may have to haggle a bit to hit your 35k price.

I owned a 16 plate one, only ever seen 2 others in the flesh. Covid came, threat of losing my job, RCF went.
