Tomorrow, I’m scheduled to go and fetch my new car, Rosie.

But there is a snag, and a bit of a worry, namely, the weather.

Do I risk crashing Herman on the way, making Rosie unaffordable? And risk crashing Rosie on the way back? Neither outcome would be pleasing.

I’ll probably give it a try anyway, as I did manage to get up to Scotland and back without incident in much worse weather.

I’m reminded, however, of my dad buying a new car just before Christmas and ending up abandoning it in a snow drift. It was about a week before he finally got it parked outside his house…

Anyways, fingers crossed there will be no more snow tonight and a mini heatwave to melt the existing ice :-)

Update: Rosie arrived safely. The only potential hic-up was on a tricky bit outside my house where an Aston Martin and a Maserati were having some difficulty on the ice. Serves them right for not having 4WD!

    What flavour of car is Rosie? Will you be taking cider with Rosie before you drive?

    Rosie is Audi RS4 flavoured — I don’t think there will much cider consumed before hand though, as she’s quite scary even when fully sober!
