She should get her priorities right. The pampering session didn&#8217;t mean that she was forgiven though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>However, the introduction to BuzzBee, Chris&#8217; new 2cv, well that went a little bit towards forgiveness. He is a handsome boy indeed, sorry Elmer, long distance relationships are not for me after all, and now I have someone closer, you&#8217;ve been replaced mate \ud83e\udd12.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-644\" src=\"https:\/\/titinne.cmnicolas.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DSC03403-1-300x162.jpg\" alt=\"Buzzbee &amp; Titinne\" width=\"300\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/titinne.cmnicolas.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DSC03403-1-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/titinne.cmnicolas.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DSC03403-1-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/titinne.cmnicolas.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DSC03403-1-1024x554.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/titinne.cmnicolas.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/DSC03403-1-390x210.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Apparently Chris built Buzzbee back from card board boxes, and ordered him a new body shell and body parts, he had a complete respray and change of colour and is lucky enough to have Chris&#8217; magic hands tinkering with him every day.\u00a0 As much as I have fallen under Buzzbee&#8217;s charm, I am also very jealous of his relationship with Chris who doesn&#8217;t drive me anymore \ud83d\ude2a<\/p>\n<p>Eventually we took off, I think Murielle wanted to take pictures of us both, and we drove past the festival of motoring, beeping &amp; waving at friends who were exhibiting their cars and ended up in the town car park to meet up with the other 2cvs from the club.\u00a0 I am no longer the shiniest, I am so sad to report that, my queen&#8217;s status has been usurped by Millie who has just had a new interior fitted, and was shining as much as me. Buzzbee, also got more attention, I am not sure I am OK with that.<\/p>\n<p>Off we went in convoy along the avenue towards the West of the island, I decided to leave the convoy (to see if Buzzbee would follow me &#8211; and it worked, he did) to get more air in my right tyre who was deflating (I changed my tyres last week and they are new). That&#8217;s when I decided to throw one of the biggest tantrum ever&#8230; I refused to start again! Chris pushed me from the air station to the pump, Murielle filled me up (my tank was only 1\/2 empty) and I still refused to start.\u00a0 They tried to start me for about 20 minutes, and in the end, Chris decided to go grab a tow rope from the garage shop. Murielle hates being towed&#8230; she really, really hates it&#8230; so I left this sink in her little head and stew there for a while, and when she gave a last try in desperation, I relented and started the engine. You should have seen her running to the shop to tell Chris that I had started and he didn&#8217;t need the tow rope after all!<\/p>\n<p>Once started, she put the pedal to the metal, and made me fly up the hill and took me straight back home&#8230; I missed my monthly drive !!! And to add insult to injury, she didn&#8217;t even look back when she parked me and she jumped straight into Buzzbee passenger seat to go to meet up with MY friends&#8230;. I even heard Chris saying I needed a good spanking!
