Last Night's Telly: 29/05/08 - My Car Is My Lover / Six Degrees

Strange Love: My Car Is My Lover, Five
Six Degrees, ITV


THE unimpressed songstress Shania Twain once declaimed: "I can't believe you kiss your car goodnight – you must be joking, right?" Shania didn't know the half of it, as Strange Love: My Car Is My Lover took us far beyond chaste kisses with two menwho really, really love their cars.

Edward Smith, a man living in Washington State with his 1974 Beetle Vanilla and, unsurprisingly, no-one else, called himself a "mechanophile". "She's my lover and I don't see anything wrong with that," he insisted. And yet he heartlessly drove her to a car show so he could cheat with several other four-wheeled floozies – the cad! What about Vanilla's feelings? Oh right, she doesn't have any, because it's a car and he's a nutjob.
