I’m driving my usual route to work I put in my newest CD, The Best of Earth Wind and Fire, singing along happily. I admire the car next to me at the set of lights lining up to Sid Enfield Drive, a beautiful silver Honda s2000, sparkling clean, perfectly balanced, low profile tyres 20” wheels, must have been at least a 3.5” exhaust, slightly tinted windows and the base from his stereo made my car shudder, I check out the driver, he winks, I smile slyly while I flip my switch into high boost. The light turns green and we’re off… I slam into second and my car jerks, damn my new shoes and not wanting to scuff the suede! Our cars side by side, I throw the gear into third a second later I hear a huge CRUNCH followed by a whirl of an engine – he missed the gear. Ha! I cruise down to the next set of lights look over with a twinkle in my eye, there he was sinking into his seat not looking over.

You without a doubt are a very cruel woman...messing with a man's...ermmm...ego extension. ~grin~
Brilliant! I would have loved to seen him slide into his seat. Ha!
Indy, he was the one with the issue - but he should have known better, my car has more power standard! But then again its not the way to a man's heart 'showing them up'. As if I would ever met a guy at the traffic lights anyway...
CB - It was a pure kodak moment, I was totally prepared to give him a re-run :-P
Glad I didn't know you whenI owned my Monaro ~grin~
Guys used to pull up beside me and send me a rev..I'd retaliate and this went back and fwd...until the light changed..they'd blat it...I wouldn't...I wasn't going to risk my mint Monaro with some grub in a souped up WRX or worse a bloody Gemini (LOL)
gotta love a girl who knows how to slam it through the gears! Nice work Natalie. ;)
Monaro - Ohhh I love a Monaro, they are just so masculine... sexy. I hear you re: WRX and Gemini boys, especially the ones that have the seat reclined all the back, i guess they never heard of car control?
GB - I'm one training day away from getting my CAMS licence ;-)
I'm lovin' on the Earth Wind and Fire... a little funky and a little cheesy!
Cibby, you’re the only one to pick up on that! I thought I would be ridiculed for daggy taste.
What's with the bonnet scoops on a gemini with a 4 inch chrome exhaust????
Scorpy, I have no idea! Bonnet scoops on Gemini's are just WRONG and why bother having a 4" exhaust when half the dump pipe is usually corroded anyway.
Here's a question for you. What's with the stereo systems being worth more than the car, and the car value fluctuating in line with the petrol volume on said day?
