It was, I suppose, a moment of clarity.
Unless you are a motoring journalist this will sound ridiculous, but in the road-testing game you can get so caught up in the business of getting the job done you can quite forget to enjoy yourself. I’m not asking for pity here – by any standards I’m a lucky boy, but often you have so little time with a car and there’s so much that’s new about it that needs to be understood, it is all you can do just to come home with a reliable opinion about it.
