Most people that know me will know that I am pretty sarcastic, and that I always hang shit on my friends. One of the things that I always rip into people for is the cars that they drive. Most of my work friends drive wimpy little econo-boxes, and so I treat them with the contempt that they deserve. I often tell people that never own a car that can be described as “zippy”
Anyway, as you know, my beloved M5 (aka. Fire-Breathing Beast) is in getting resprayed at the moment, and since it’s my only car, I went and hired a little Hyundai Getz to get around in until my car was back on the road. Understandably, I was keeping pretty quiet about this, but then one of the girls from work saw me parking at the car park at work, and took a picture of me, and then proceeded to email to everyone in the organisation….. Needless to say, I have been inundated with phone calls since then, from friends looking to get their slice of payback after the years of abuse that they have copped from me.
When my boss found I was hiring a Hyundai, he told me that I could use his old car. He’s just bought a new VE Calais V8, and he hasn’t yet sold his old VL Commodore (what can I say? He’s Greek…..), so he kindly offered to let me use the VL so that I could return the Hyundai. Now, driving an old VL is nothing to brag about of course, but at least now I don’t have the shame of being seen driving the Hyundai
