I know NOTHING about cars, but I know do they have personalities. All of them have a story and a few eccentricities. And every car I have ever owned had a name:
There was Geloppi (my blue Citi golf from my student days), then there was Polla (my blue VW Jetta) who saw me through many a trip across South Africa. Then came Amy, a gorgeous new Mercedes who stole my heart and kept it till I reluctantly let her go to make space for....well, Lola :)
Lola turned 5 this year (but does not look it!) and has less than 40,000 km on her clock. What can I say...she prefers things quick and dirty and enjoys the going topless! I do not really care what I drive and I really do not know why I buy a car? I guess it is a bit like choosing a puppy - they pick me. But whilst I have yet to read her manual and JC is the only one who received speeding tickets behind her wheel, I love the fact that Lola and I are traveling together. She gives my journey a bit of pizzazz :)
