Going to church

[forddeliveryboy]

Since the ex CEO of State Religion said we're in a post-Christian society (probably just to piss off Cameron, who asserted the opposite recently) I naturally related the comment to the cars we drive around in.

 

Had a friend turn up in a Rover 90 at the weekend, I happened to remark it felt a bit like Going to Church, riding in the old dear. He seemed to find this very apt and asked what the modern equivalent experience was - I was a bit stumped, since it's such a non-experience. Told him I'd ask some mates, best I could think of was 'Pleasuring Oneself'. Don't think a Leaf or Insignia would get me that excited, though. What's a better answer?

A day of Charitable Good Deeds followed by a well-earned relaxing hot bath and a gentle massage?  So any halfway decent Jag or Lexus then...

I think the fun has gone from motoring and you're better off doing something else.

 

That in a way is what drives us away from modern cars.

Motoring is still fun in the right vehicle.   Modern cars are  shite is why I  don't drive  those things.   Modern cities and modern houses are  shite too.   Answer - drive  old car away from shite and towards old  house.    Don't know about church these days but my Cowley is like a 30s semi - not  much luxury but everything you need, squashy seats and a delightful  smell.

Well I drive my Princess to church every Sunday (twice). Sometimes the drive to church involves winding A roads and country lanes (if I am playing the organ out in the sticks) or a blast down a dual carriageway (if I am going to Bromsgrove)!
