Ever have one ofthoes moments that are so hilariously funny that they stick with you for, well, a while?
Just got back from a pub quiz with some mates and assorted girl firends and boy friends, no drink as driving so on the coke, great stuff. One lad, 18, i know is a mechanic for a dealership some where and it came up a week or so ago that he'd worked on Bond 875 Imp engines a few years back, so quite happily talked to him. Came up that I was selling the Orion, 12 months mot 1.4 etc he always turned up in a battered mk3 Fiesta. Said what replacement was i getting, Stellar so 2.3 V6 fit straight in etc etc and so i went on. Did he know anyone that might want it etc
Anyway, Coke does its caffinee job, and its time to leave,in the car park with the Orion so its 'here it is, go on, you know you want it, good runner' and all the malarky.
'Go on, whats yours, 1.3?' i ask at which point my mate starts babbling something in the dark a few meters away. This lads wandered off to his 'Fiesta' So what the hells my mate on about? I peer over the roof of a Punto...
'WHAT THE F***?!' Much extreamly suprised laughing and shouting as he opens the door to his 90s spec Nissan 300 ZX sitting on the ground, huge spoiler, god knows how many inch rims, climbs into the low bucket seat with his girl friend and starts the engine. Vast quantities of 3000cc having a good scream and he leaves with the noise of the turbo kicking in.
Mate and i stand each side of the Orion jaws to the ground before once again excalaiming to each other "What in the name of...?!?!?!!?"
So, i made a fool of myself tonight,even if itwas hilariously funny
