My name is Michelle & I drive a VOLVO

I never thought I’d say those words. But here I am, the proud (I think) new owner of a Volvo XC60, in Champagne coloured "Seashell" for Meeshell (East End London version of Michelle). It was between that and the Audi Q5 - which had way too many gizmos, too big a grille and tractor-sized tyres which seemed to generate headache-inducing road noise.

So, I’ve gone for the sleek, smooth, Swedish alternative. And it’s true, when it comes to design, the Swedes have "got it". And as for noise, when I test drove the new car I felt as though I was floating along on a cloud. Just the thing a stressed out editor and harried wife needs - me time, with peace and quiet, in my Volvo. So come mid-August I’ll bid farewell to The Silver Bullet (my nippy and reliable Toyota RAV4) and say hello to The Vulva (the meaning of that nickname is a whole other story).

Hey, if the Volvo XC60 is good enough for Edward Cullen, it’s good enough for me!

Wow, who is that stylish chick in that super stylish car…
