Two hundred views and no replies.....
After reading it I didn't know whether to laugh or hurriedly review every conversation I'd had with "non-car" folk over the past few months.
Is it a bit too close to the bone? Hence the silence? Food for thought though isn't it? Perhaps we may have to curtail our answers to those often-asked questions about our cars. It'll be hard though, given the enthusiasm we have for our toys.
Just a question of finding that middle ground -- somewhere between a curt answer giving the impression we're up ourselves and can't be bothered giving a reasonable reply, and a lengthy fact-filled discourse, the sort we'd lap up, but leaves the other party with information overload and something approaching a headache.
Although, coincidentally, I have a terrific Kleenmaid semi-industrial washing machine that I've had for over twenty years, still going like a train, built like the proverbial brick outhouse, never had to replace a belt........
