The Midnight Drive Away

Having been married the year before Christine and I drove a Vauxhall Chevette but it was now past its best years so decided on buying new to collect Our choice was a Vauxhall Nova lovely blue colour with a good boot comfortable seating too, a real catch looking forward to tasting real fruit The deal included midnight pick up real razzmatazz ribbons and all so strange to drive a new car home in the dark for first time, what a call! Many a nice holiday we spent with our Nova throughout the UK it could have driven many itself the English lakes it knew its way Never again had the experience of that midnight drive away all future buys were in daytime that memory will always stay (This is written remembering our first brand new car after getting married, it was quite an experience collecting it at midnight.)
