  My Daddy has a new car, and this is what he has to say about it (Mum merely informed me it was a Mazda of some description.  LM is Mum - it's short for Little Mummy, she's only 4' 11 1/2")

  Well.  It has two wheels at the front and another two
  at the back - I suppose that one of them is a spare.
  It has two doors each side and another at the back,
  which I suppose is there in case one of the others
  cannot be used.
  
  It is silver outside and grey inside, apart from the
  bits that are black - like the dashboard thingy.
  
  It has lots of buttons to disorganise things like the
  radio (and CD Player - got one now!) and Climate
  Control.  The young fellow who had LM lying in his lap
  while he re-organised the drivers headrest for her
  explained the difference between Climate Control and
  Air Conditioning, and it boils down to the same thing.
  
  It is called a Mazda6 (deliberate absence of space -
  marketing, I suppose) TS Hatchback automatic.  It is a
  bit smaller than the SAAB, but not much.
  
  Seems a better ride - after all, with about twenty
  years more to practice design they have had time.  It
  has Cruise Control on the steering wheel, which is a
  waste of effort, but there we are.
  
  It will be called <Dad's personal numberplate> - there's a surprise!
  
  AA wanted a phenominal amount to insure you, but
  Zurich seem a bit more sensible, so you should be able
  to drive it after we get rid of the Merc.
  
  'sall.
