Daily Dilemma #6- Just how much can a girly girl know about cars before she is branded a beer-swilling, checked shirt wearing ladette?

Couple of days ago, ASDA car park... 9pm ish and raining

Steve: "... hang on, i want to park as close to the doors as possible.."
Me: "...not here though"
Steve: "why?"
Me: "cos we're next to a renault megane.."
Steve: "(groans) whats wrong with the megane?"
Me: "well, look at the back... i hate the shape of the back.. and it just feels too big and boxy. Clio's are all cute and curvy and the megane just looks a mess."

Couple of days ago, Shires Car park... late afternoon

Me: "I wonder what the most popular car model is in the uk... i see so many clio's around, but then again you see focuses and mazda's around all the time too you know?"
Steve: "i bet it's a ford make."
Me: "nah i bet it's a peugeot... like a 307 or a 206 or something....It's going to annoy me now- i'll check it out later."

An hour ago, i was sat on Autotrader.com looking for the top sought-after car models when it hit me. Uh Oh.

Since when did i know anything about cars??? Forever, my head has been filled with cocktails, shoes, the current issue of vogue, clothes, fall lines, art, photography and electro...when the hell did i begin to pick random things up about cars?

This could be a problem.... how can a girl who carries three different types of moisturisers, lusts after horribly-expensive summer dresses and spends her spare time dancing to keep fit know about cars? Is that allowed? Is that attractive?

I began to worry when i unconsciously began my new favourite game to make the bus journey home from town pass quicker... quessing the make and models of cars by only seeing the badge as they pass...sadly, i'm getting quite good at it. I now know my fiat puntos from my seat ibiza's, and my honda civics from my mazda rx8's- no more 'small green car' or 'long blue boxy car'. Up until recently, i could only describe my mums car as a 'red shiny sports car thing', now i know it's a MGF sports convertible (2001 model) in flame red..

I think i'll do some online shopping to help supress my growing knowledge about cars...
