But if I'm going to drive a four-door anyway, give me my trusty Buick any day!Rouchswalwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393987883437907945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-7246164916254306882013-09-15T08:05:54.804+01:002013-09-15T08:05:54.804+01:00My late climbing partner Tony had no penchant for ...My late climbing partner Tony had no penchant for retail therapy.<br /><br />He went to buy shoes at Clarkes in Preston.

But the stall seemed unpatronised (perhaps Herefordians were too timid) and I suspected that talking to the stallholder would turn out to be an experience Occasional Speeder would label "squirmy" - over-awareness of a retailer's imminent failure.<br /><br />RW (zS): Are you sure? A Quattroporte (ie, four doors) is meant to take rear-seat passengers by virtue of its design.
