Passing Junction 10 of the M40, heading towards Birmingham late on a Monday morning, a Ferrari 360, barrelling down the outside lane took a nano-second to fill my rear-view mirror.
Fast it might be, and head-turning it might be, but with 50 miles behind me and another 400 to go, I was grateful to be at the wheel of a Vauxhall Astra diesel.
Having covered just shy of 1,000 miles in two days (and further 1,000 over the next three says), it was apparent just how good the Astra is: since the original model made its debut back in 1979, it has matured into a fantastically capable, good-looking and affordable car.
