Does it count if it's not actually your neighbour, but you parked next to it at Homebase this morning? Whipped out to grab a new plug for the bath - for some reason, it just disintegrated - and there it was. Larger than life and sexier than Shakira on a sunny day. This has my name written all over it - and I want it right now!

It has everything a car should have. Personality, charm, it's black, leather seats, very cool stick indicators instead of those plastic things we all have now. It was love at first sight, but when I got back to my car, it was gone otherwise I would have left a note under the wiper blade.

I guess the guy can't live too far away. I'm not even sure what it is. I know it's a Citroen - I could see that from about 100 metres away (even with my eyes) but the model? If anybody has a clue please leave a comment. This is the very car that a fictional detective should be driving.

This has also moved me to think that yes, maybe I do need a decent camera on my phone. Again - if anybody has a killer cam-fone, leave a note if you would be so kind.

Later that same evening:
Apparently, it's a Citroen DS and is highly rated by many! Found this rather cool page hosted by Citroen is anybody actually gives a crap except me. Stunningly gorgeous, but I reckon if they'd tried a bit harder, they could have found some archive pics of the damn thing that weren't in battleship grey. If you keep going though, there's a couple of nice shots in there. There's some of the interior here as well which leads me to one conclusion. Car designers today have got a bloody cheek calling themselves designers.

Must find a new house so that there's room on the drive for one of these too if we're being stupid about it...
