Year 2000 Toyota Yaris

I've had a Beetle, I've had a Mini, I've even had a Hillman Imp, but this is the favourite of all the cars I've owned. Why, because she's a gracious lady and she's never let me down. I even wrote a rap about her which I'd attach if I knew how to. Today she went through her annual service and MOT Test. (Failed at the first attempt.) She is now a difficult teenager, and is costing me more money than she did before. I've been neglecting her a bit - bashed rear bumper, outside filthy, inside, a tip. But the lovely people at Corrie Motors know a lady when they see one: everything, including the bumper was fixed, and she had been valeted inside and washed outside. When I picked her up, I nearly burst into tears. I'm chocking a little now. I call her Maris.
