Mum’s the word for girly mobile Peugeot

Catherine Shanahan dreamed of a man-magnet on wheels, but when she test drove the new Peugeot, designed with women in mind, she found it was more about babies than babes.

MY first car was given to me free, gratis and for nothing - and quickly departed in a puff of smoke to the great parking lot in the sky. The second went down the same road suit six years later.

My current drive, a low-slung, Dukes-of-Hazzard, banged-up piece of metal has endeared itself by virtue of its niftiness, ease of parking and potential to take top prize in any Pimp My Ride contest.
