Slightly sensitive question related to the going car free thread

[Boris Bajic]

I used to live sharply uphill from the boozer, and mostly quite enjoyed the bike ride home, but I could deduce from traces of wild garlic caught in the rear mech that I had fallen in the hedge quite often.

I was about to launch into a robust defence of the car for reasons other than romantic, recreational or transactional fornication....

But I must allow that the gorgeous smell of wild garlic rarely penetrates the cabin of a modern car - and this is a big minus. My defence of the car is now in tatters.

I still like to drive but cannot defend my actions.

Well, forgive me if I am wrong, but the 2CV is in fact a car, last time I checked!

All this talk of 2CV's reminds me of this James Bond scene.

It might be possible to remedy this.

If one must have a car, one should keep a quince on the parcel shelf. This is not a euphemism relating to my previous post, but a more pleasant alternative to the Magic Tree.

Yes I guess so....

Dry humour gets my vote.

You're not a car nut are you.

Bozzer Badger is.

Trust me, he's right.

So, you and Graham, is it the teenage sex, the extra-marital stuff, or the kerb-crawling?

.....erm

True, but Boris's comment made me laugh (and give it a Like, I think), whereas you're just coming across as a rather dull pedant...

Anyone who's owned or ridden in a 2CV knows exactly what was meant

Oh, OK. I thought I was coming across as someone joking back at him. That's the trouble with text - no tone of voice. I did put a smiley though, so that should have been a clue.

Maybe you can get a car air-freshener with "wild garlic" smell.

Haha, that's brilliant.
