Remember the time when you look your car to the garage for repairs and were given an old banger to drive around in the meantime?
Two friends of mine rather regret it doesn't still happen; they have been given smart new hire models while their tatty old runarounds get repaired.
Both use their cars to transport dogs to their walks; one is a professional dog walker, who sometimes piles my pooch into the back of her people carrier along with half a dozen other canine clients. She is quite terrified of spoiling the smart new replacement, though she has to use it.
The other didn't use hers at all bar one shopping trip; it sat on her drive for the rest of the three weeks her car was in dock, while the dogs made do with a potter round the local lanes.

Housey, when I had my last accident (not my fault - young men are always driving into the back of me I was given a Vauxhall Insignia that terrified me. I only drove it home from the car hire place and the rest of the time it sat on the drive. I was scared stiff of getting a scratch on it. When I asked the people at the car hire place if I could have a little run-around, like a Fiesta or a Corsa they reckoned they didn't have any in stock. Instead I had to have a huge monster. I think they do it so they can charge more to the insurance company.

Now, where's my blond wig and white halterneck dress? BTW, when we were in New York, I saw plenty of subway gratings, but I had my jeans on.

It's not a problem. Car Valeters could work miracles twenty five years ago - I should think they can go beyond that these days. I did it for six months in 1986, it was a lot of fun. Even when you got a stinking (and this one did) two year old Vauxhall Cavalier estate with so much Dog Hair in it that it was stuck all the way up the windows - we managed to make it sparkling for the sales forecourt the next day. There are spray on, deep clean shampoos for the upholstery which gets scrubbed in and hoovered out with a wet and dry - there are specialist plastic cleaners, chewing gum cleaners, road grit cleaners and four types and strengths of paint polish. Every known foible, dribble and spatter there is probably an answer for.

He obviously meant a car horn - it was a ref to Everso's earlier post (sheesh).
