Sounds like an excellent choice of name. There used to be a very
pretty girl called Sophie who used to go around with the Carly after
whom my car is named - Carly was a blonde, and Sophie a brunette...

Given that the snow continues to fall, I think I'm going to wimp out
today and drive the Saab to work. Actually, part of the reason is that
the carburettors on Carly seem to have gone out of adjustment, and she
is running far too rich. She's going in for a carburettor rebuild and
retune on Monday, and I don't really fancy standing in the snow fiddling
with the tuning.
