Can a leopard change it's spots?

I have a character flaw. This could be disputed by many as I suspect I have more, but this is about only one particular aspect that has surfaced again recently. In fact this flaw is flawed, I can't even gets flaws right!
 I have this soft spot for cars. It is well known about my enjoyment of motorsports, but I just like cars in general. I am relatively clueless about the mechanical aspects of cars, but have historically rebuilt my Type 2 bay window camper van twice with the aid of the trusty Haynes manual. I do get enjoyment though from buying and driving different cars, which is a not a great way to get enjoyment as it can be costly. The flaw in my flaw is that it's not like I always go for amazing cars, I just enjoy driving different vehicles. The reason for writing though, is that I was hoping that driving Hugo (motorhome) would relieve my personality of this trait and I would be happy with a run around type of car. I love the idea of running a car into the ground, I just somehow get a little bored and want something different. Well the Hugo therapy was working well, until I was given the chance once again to drive a nice car. This week I have been mainly driving and Audi A6 Quattro Allroad. A 2.5 litre belter of a car. It's all Christians fault. So our daily walk to the library to enjoy the wifi, was wasted by me looking at cars on Autotrader on the iPad and dreaming. Damn, damn, damn. A German car in Germany is fabulous, and what's more, being in Munich, the sheer number of BMWs rumbling around with a thunderous burbling of an engine somehow lights my fire. Germany at the moment is like one massive car showroom to me. Not good. And somehow the Audi A6 brochure of 2006 has ended up on the iPad.
