Heh. Driving through central London last night. Promo girls come running over and ask me if I'd like some balloons while I'm at a red light. I say "yes please" and they proceed to tie helium balloons to the wing-mirrors. One leans in (giving me an excellent eyeful) and fastens one to the rear view mirror. She scrawls her number on it in marker pen.

I may look like the back end of a horse these days, but the Morgan's doing all the work for me. God bless you, "Holly". For your looks, your decolletage, and forthright go-getter attitude.

Mind you, the fact that she had a marker pen handy means that her favours will probably be enjoyed by a number of convertible drivers in West London...

Probably best not to share this anecdote with Lady Flash...

Have you considered that the number might actually be for the company they are working for? And that you looked like a sucker and would fall for the tits?

hehe

She looked at Harry, and the Morgan, and gave him her brother's number.

LGF - I'm not stupid, of course I have! But my utter, unshaekeable self belief (and so far fairly reliable loose woman detector) have convinced me that she was interested.

Yellow Badge - probably, actually. Damn.

Mind you, I have now realised why old men buy sports cars. When you're not fussy about where the action is coming from, it seems they're a useful prop...

oh dear. How many ageing, 'flash-boy', vain, mugs do you think she approached?

She's obviously appealing to your 'boxer brains', and it worked.

People - I know this. Hence my comments about "her handy marker pen".

And my comments about why fat, balding old men buy sports cars. .

Do keep up smile

Damn. Overnight, I've turned into a fat, balding old man who drives an inappropriate sports car.

I'd better propose to Lady F, sharpish.

When I get some corporate sales line, it'll ruin the fantasy.

Mind you, as they were advertising womens' cosmetics, I'm not sure why they targeted me.









Oh no......

I'm swapping the car for something more manly.

Harry, slightly OT - have you posted any pics of your car anywhere on this site? If not, could you please because I'm a big fan of the aero 8 and would like to see if it's as camp as people on here (you included? tongue out) seem to think it is in the colour you have hehe

You can tell the OH you were sight-seeing. Though I'd not clarify what.

Swap the Morgan for a decent boat and a labrador. With that combination even really ugly people like me can shag top quality totty 15 years my junior providing the lucozade and viagra don't run out. . . . .

Fleeting shot of it in my profile. Yellow reflection on mine is the camera car, my friend's yellow Cerbera...

Utterly fantastic car..!! I'm still trying to convince my brother to take the plunge, ditch his Boxster in favour of an Aero-8.

My wife likes them too. I think they are a hottie-magnet.
