It's A New Relationship I'm In

I'm dying to tell you a bit more about Herbert the Bug, my new VW Beetle convertable, cos I seem to have started a whole new relationship and already it's cracking me up, as in the laughing side of cracking me up.

First of all, if you didn't know already, you buy one of these cars and you get.....

THE FLOWER.

Wow, the flower. Honest God's truth in the showroom out comes your salesman (hello Gavin at Mann Egerton, Exeter) holding about 8 different flower choices to choose from to go in the special little in built vase next to the steering wheel. No word of a lie. Here I was, purchasing (well leasing) a £21k car and being offered a bloody fake flower. What a laugh, almost too cheesy for words. Now dear readers, I quite like a bit of deliberate cheese..and if I can have this flower and have a giggle whilst having this said fake as fake flower, then sod it, I'll jolly well have it. Oh, but yet again, what colour does one have? Do I get a contrasting pink perhaps, or a vibrant yellow? Nope, I go for the blue to match the car!

Quick request. I am looking for a handsome man to send me a fresh flower once a week to replace the fake.Don't get if you don't ask!!

The cheesy fake flower does act very nicely for very silly moments with my newphews or any other kids I look after as a wicked fake microphone...and so now, we can do karioke from the back of the Bug to any song we like. Fab.

Further into the bargain are the heated leather seats. OOH la la. Number 1, can't really feel it, no. 2 ..it's def there. No. 3..now you're chattin, no. 4 EXTREME hot arse. My mate Fi from new York said it was a strange sort of almost feel like you've wet yourself feeling of warmness. Hmmm, well! I've tested the waters with Millie in the front seat, but can't bring myself to turn the heat setting to 3 as yet. She seems to settle at no. 2, but God only knows what she thinks of it all. Oh, shes a dog. Is she really?!

The boot just seems to amaze me any time I put anything in and get anything out, such a small entrance. Imagine a dog giving birth to a cow, well actually don't, cos thats warped, but now you've already thought that, you catch my drift about the boot and my delight in it.

Now, what else to  tell you about the Bug. The colour. Ladies, some of you may understand this, but you fella's will think I'm nuts, but I've started sub conciously buying clothes that will suit the Bug...colour wise. I mean, this summer, the whole Riviera look is in and I found myself with 2 girlfirends in Bath shopping, lookings in Hobbs and noting this factor and now I have a red and white scarf and a cool new jacket. What a twat!!!!

I don't give a monkies though. I'm having a laugh and you know maybe if I plug www.mannegerton.co.uk and www.vw.com enough, then maybe they'll give it to me for free. (?)

And, for the very nearly last thing to mention. I wondered what the courtesy is driving a VW Beetle, the new version. Surely I'll get the V's up from the older original VW drivers (shamingly, almost rightly so, sorry) and do I wave at the new VW drivers, or only the other convertables? What a quandry.I was parked 2 cars away from another Beetle (different colour combination) the other day and the woman and I smiled at each other. I held up my blue flower and she held up her red and we laughed and drove off. I kept seeing her and the car that day and we waved each time. Maybe I should be joining a club? Suggestions please, but not...I'm a donut in a new car club please!

Lastly, I was on the ferry with my top off (well Bug had his top off) and I pulled up next to a convertable Merc with a man sat in it on his todd, too, with the roof off and I'm a sucker you see..I have to say something, cos I thought the situation was funny, 2 posers parked opposite on the ferry with their convertable cars and roofs off. So I said, ''Great day to take your top off.'

So far so sociable.I love my the new man in my life...the BUG.
