Hey girls do cars turn you on? Is it just me that thinks as long as it gets you from A to B it doesn't really matter what it is?

A few months ago I made a bit of a fool of myself because of ignorance where cars are concerned. I was talking to a man from Cheltenham and he said he had a chimera!

Now I had just been bought a chimenea for the garden and knew there were different sorts so mistakenly thought he had one to, so I said to him "Thats nice, I have one in the garden, Maxine bought me for my birthday".

Elaine, a friend of mine was there and she was listening to my side of the conversation. She asked what he had said and burst out laughing when I told her. She informed me it was a TVR? Doh! still none the wiser I asked if that was like a TR7. (I only know about those because my brother used to have one.

Anyway, Elaine grabbed the phone off me and informed him if he was trying to impress me with his car he was wasting his time, he put the phone down and I haven't heard from him since. His loss! Its funny now but at the time I was really embarrassed.
