Car Maintenance, Explosives and Love

For those of you that have been reading our blog for some time you may remember that Kate ran a survey to see whether I was a prat or a tw*t in my choice of new car. Well she missed the opportunity to do that this time and I am now all North American in my Mazda CX-9 SUV which I believe we could all move into if we ever need the space in the house!

Given our desire to embrace North American culture which one of the following vehicles will Kate be taking delivery of next week. The only clue that I will leave you with is the colour - black. I think we may be turning into the Bevans.

1) The Chrysler Seebring. Recently voted by Jeremy Clarkson as the worst car currently made but stacked with open top charm and currently very very cheap













2) The Jeep Wrangler. An open top classic and a favourite of masculine outdoor types, now available in a family friendly 4 door version












3) The Toyota Prius. The dream car of every American environmentalist











4) The Dodge Caravan. The hockey Mom's favourite as driven by Sarah Pallin











5) The Ford Mustang. LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM!

Love the look of the Mazda Chris, nice colour too. I reckon the Chrysler Seebring. Should be easy to park, hey Kate! M x

The convertible is convertible!

Minivan is good for driving the family to New Jersey.

Hybrid will only delay the day when we must do something serious about an alternate energy economy. Avoid.

Consider my thoughts carefully, keeping in mind that I am an a****** where cars are concerned.

(I used the american spelling, I know you will not be confused.)

I really really hope it is the jeep....

I Chris choose I would think he may have gone for the Pallin mobile with the optional gun rack for the semi-automatic assault rifles.
If Kate choose then the Mustang!

Only one real option out of that lot. Go Sally Go.

Please let it be the Mustang!



It's going to be the Dodge Caravan though isn't it...?

I thought it would be the Toyota but I understand I may be mistaken

Hmm- I don't wish to spoil my record in this area (Nice choice on the CX-9 Chris by the way), and my comments very much echo Jonny's. I so wish it was the Mustang (which would make you a shunt)but my sensible head suggests the dodge (which would make you something else)

Actually Mrs Mephisto had a thought that maybe you'd go for the Jeep. It's certainly cooler and perhaps you're entering your mid life crisis like Chris-only 10 years later.....

Chris said...

Kate's car choice obviously sparked much more interest than mine.

Anyway - result tomorrow

Given that your car is a bit of a sensible family car, I'm thinking Kate would have chosen the Mustang. Having said that and your desire to immerse yourselves into the North American Culture. I guess it's the people mover a la Palin
