Made me smile

Post by Steve G B3S » Sun Aug 15, 2021 8:41 pm

On the way back home from our caravan in North Devon traveling north on the M5 very slowly in a traffic jam and talking cars with my wife, mainly about her next one to take over duties from her Zafira and she came out with "I don't care what it is as long as its got an engine and four wheels not like you and your Albino".

Anyway it made me smile and brightened up our journey,

I just knew there would be some other mispronunciations others had heard and I do like the badge :D . I'm going to have to cut and paste that and forward it.
Just for clarity my car is blue with black interior so no way is it an Alpino :(
