I hate my car, and I hate traffic

Guess what pile of junk I drive? A Volvo 440. This is severely embarrassing. It's not that I can't afford a new car, I just never get around to actually phoning anybody up and asking to see/test-drive their car. So my reliable (actually, not-so-reliable) Volvo gets driven year-in, year out. One day, I will not be driving a Volvo.

And why does the tiniest little prang require the police to close at least one carriage-way, leaving tail-backs for miles around Oxford's creaking ring-road? This morning I'd just turned onto the A34, to see miles of cars parked in the road. It was *just* too late to turn and take an alternative route. Typical.
