…steering! After 11 years of huffing and puffing, I’ve finally got power…steering! My new car has arrived. It is not a Mercedes or another flash car, but after all those years of driving around the cobbles of Yorkshire with a (now) battered Fiat Punto, this seems like a Limo to me! For most of you, probably power-steering, air-conditioning, air-bags and even Bluetooth might be taken for granted but for me it’s sheer luxury! A couple of tears shed at the thought of my old car being scrapped have been quickly replaced by the euphoria of talking on the phone hands-free just at the click of a pushbutton and parking without wrenching my right shoulder! My daughter – enthusiastic as usual – has even given her – the car, female of course! – her name: Celeste, like our favourite colour, sky-blue!
(PS: The Man In Purple behind the car is my lovely "Baby" Boy!)

Whew hew! And it's my favorite color too!
Many happy years of driving Celeste.
Congrats on the new addition :)
Fab! I so love power steering - though you do know your biceps will shrink now you don't have to wrestle your car!
Yeah for your car! It looks wonderful & I'm sure you're going to enjoy it. I only named my very first car years ago, her name was Bellabianca :o) It gives an idea of her color too lol. I guess we don't appreciate power stearing, AC & more enough.
Congratulations! And wonderful color you chose!
It's a beautiful car. Love the color!
Wow!! I still remember the name I gave my first car! Enjoy the power steering!!
Lovely! That's the same colour as my new car! Happy driving. x
Congratulations on Celeste. I wish you many years of happy driving together.:-)
It`s beautiful Antonella, there`s nothing like driving around in a new car! :o)
Love and Hugs

Wow! I was too busy and I missed this post of yours, A. I've only just read it and I want to congratulate for your choice. Sky-blue is also my favourite colour.By the way, I am OFFICIALLY on holiday!!! Ciao! MG
Hi there-thats a fabulous car, the colour is just lovely for summer too, excellent choice my dear!
How fantastic. I think you and I must be very alike, I'd never had a car with power steering before but just old bangers that I drove until they couldn't go on any more. Now we have a Saab with power steering and all sorts of features, it feels like I'm driving a spaceship! He's called Dudley.

Congrats, Anto! Great car! :) Celeste is a lovely name, I like it for a girl too. Happy many years of driving together! :D BTW, your "baby" boy seems a handsome teenager to me ;) Happy weekend! Hugs!
Very smart! But you haven't said what make it is, what cc, or given us the EFM?!!
I'll bet you find all kinds of reasons to go driving. New cars are terrific aren't they? Mine isn't new but I still like it so I'm holding on for awhile.
