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…

Michelle! You’re driving Edward’s car!!! Arghh!!!
I know! To be honest, that’s what sealed the deal…
