In a slightly more lighthearted variation of the standard Car Articles posts, here I consider a Christmas letter to Santa for 2012:
Dear Santa,
I am a car, motorbike and almost-anything-with-an-engine enthusiast. However, my greatest passion is held for transport generally on four wheels (though if you deemed me worthy of the devillishly handsome Morgan Three Wheeler as a present I would be more than gracious). For this reason, I was hoping you could furnish me with the following wishes. I grant that some of them may be even beyond your powers – however I ask for them nonetheless.
Please ask the Government to stop continuously abusing the motorist or enjoying us simply as a source of revenue from over (and artificially) inflated fuel prices. For a lot of us, a car a necessity. Myself included. Have a word with the powers that be can you and ask if our pain can be a little reduced next year?
Please watch over younger, inexperienced drivers. Grant them wisdom and see them safely through their journeys in order that the loss of life on our roads can be reduced.
Please grant the powers that be a slightly increased budget to help with keeping our roads in a decent condition. Pot holes are dangerous and cause a lot of needless wear to our suspension systems.
Please Santa, help my poor old car pass another MOT. It has served me well and I have treated it to a regular service so I don’t think this is asking too much.
Finally, as three of my wishes have been for others, I would like to ask that my main present this year is a Pagani Cinque Roadster. I know it is outrageous, impractical and I’ll need you to also drop a large sum of money into my bank so I can insure it, but really would be rather grateful. It is probably my favourite car of all time. Please Santa. Please?
Yours, Mr B – of Car Articles, UK.
