I'd just like to share a rather strange driving story from last night..

I first posted a topic on here 3 days ago since I was purchasing my first TVR this week. I bantered with a few of you guys (Shnozz, Angussomething and Cerbera450)
Last night I picked the car up showed it off down the pub and then spanked it very hard down the M3 towards Eastleigh.
Since I was going rather fast I was surprised to see headlights flashing at me up the slip road. At first I thought the worst, and then realised it was another Chimaera. Not wanting to look like a girl driver (no offence intended) I started to hammer it.
After repeatedly being flashed, I decided to pull over into the local gas station (I'm not American I just can't be arsed to type petrol. Doh)
Said car pulls alongside and says hello. I then said I had just picked the car up to which he replied, you're not Kal-El are you? Rather shocked I said yes, to discover I had just met my first Pistonheads member Cerbera450. Now what are the chances of that? Should I go and buy a lottery ticket or something?

I can't believe I just typed all that... It's not really even that interesting I'm sure.

Christ I'm bored!

and what are the chances that I knew what this thread would say before I even opened it when I saw the author and title

Nice to hear that Craig was driving an advertisement board Could you understand him with that dodgy accent? First time I met him I thought he was Scandinavian or something.

You coming out to play tonight?

I take it you have spoken to him about it already Shnozz? Craig seems like a really nice chap for a Swede! (Just kidding Craig)...

Where are you guys playing tonight then?

At least its an even playing field at the moment until he gets the Nitrous cerbera back from the garage
