I've got a BMW
convertible, and it's a beautifully made motor car, in red with cream leather. It's the best car I've ever had.

And Mrs Cheerful Attic Spider has a 4x4 - a Grand Vitara -- even though we don't really need it because we never go off road. We just bought it because it's big and comfy and if it snows we'll still be able to get to Oddbins for the Chardonnay.

Probably, if your career works out, you'll do similar when you can afford it. Recently, I was driving past a young group of students with the roof down in the BMW, and one of them shouted "tosser", which made me smile because I remember doing exactly the same thing 20 years ago when I had nothing except rage and envy disguised as politcs.
