Incidentally, the 'dull' description was simply an attention grabber.

It seems to have worked.

have you let Rose drive it yet?

One thing I forgot to report...

I was sitting in the car at a filling station in Schengen (it's a frontier town, and fuel is cheap there) waiting for Mrs H to show up after a stroll, when all of a sudden and without warning, the engine started!

Yes, I was in the driving seat with my feet against the seat and my arms crossed, when burrrrummmm.

I think BMW call it 'Start/Stop'.
