  Not often we see a Maserati around here but if they are going to become common I simply won't buy one.

  Unfortunately Howard they ARE becoming 'common'. They are even advertising on LBC Radio their 'contract hire' which is about to be the sub-prime scandal de nos jours
  
  So-called "personal contract plans", which make up nine in ten new car sales, enable people on low incomes and poor credit histories to afford brand new top-of-the range cars.

  Let us all be having a day dream to get away from politics for a while.
  
  What car would you love to own if money was no problem and why?
  
  I would go for a 1950's Bentley. Years ago my husband to be worked in the offices of a posh garage in Chelsea and we got the use of one of these wonderful cars for a weekend away to Sussex. The sheer luxury and comfort of that ride has stayed with me for over fifty years, there was also the added bonus that other drivers seemed to treat us respect no tailgating or dangerous overtaking. Pure bliss

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
