hehe! Part 2:

I was running on the treadmill at my gym which overlooks Oxford road. Now, I have put on a lot of weight in the past 2 years and have done little exercise in this time (apart from nudge nudge, wink wink aiiiiiiiiiiii!). So, there I was stuggling after 3minutes on this treadmill.

I wanted to get off, but there was this fit bird next to me who had been running for the past 3 weeks (or it seemed like it) therefore i didnt want to look like a puff (sorry Nightmare ). Instead i started walking and overheard a conversation between a girl on a bike (probably a 3pint-er ) and a guy next to her.

the conversation went like this:

MuscleBoundTosser: So when you coming out with me then? (in a semi-joke, semi-serious way)

3pinter: ..........

MBT: That's a no then? Cool.

3 : Where are you taking me (in a semi-joke, semi-serious way)

##AND THE CONVERSATION WENT LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 5MINUTES##

MBT: We can catch a bus into town and...

3 : I dont take buses. sorry (i think she was joking)

MBT: Thats not a problem I have a car.

3 : Is it that lotus in the carpark? (in a really excited voice) (the gym in question is student only hence the excitement...i think)

MBT: Its a nice car isnt it?

##VERY cool i thought. neither answered her question nor disappointed her. At this stage i was about to go, but decided to hang about for a mo ##

3 : mmmm. lucky you. it's a really nice car. Gonna take me for a spin one day?

MBT: (probably going red as ) sure, look at that! (pointing to an open lorry with people hanging out of the back)

##His desperation to change the subject from this point was hilarious. I was busy trying to not piss myself laughing##

3 : is it fast? how many seats does it have? what colour is the inside? is it leather? are you going to take me home in it?

MBT: take you home? erm. Im going to be here a while.

At this point i couldnt take it. poor lad. I decided to teach him a lesson. I skipped out of the gym and told the instructer that i was coming back. I hopped into El 'Beast and fired him up. I drove up oxford road and parked up right infront of the window got out, tooted and waved

The looks were priceless! This WAS a kodak moment. The girl was pointing at me while mouthing something to him (probably, "isnt that your car?") and he just sat there looking straight at me.

By the time i got back to the gym, he had gone but she was still there. She just glared at me, but then started laughing when i smiled. When i got back into the changing rooms, MBT was drying himself off. I looked at him, looked down and start sniggering

He started mouthing to his mate/whoever:

"Those lotuses are shite. I know something about them...they're just ford engined kit cars" ( At this point i thought of DanH, when he was banging on about the "kit-car look" of the S1). "They've only got 2.0L engines in them (if only ) and they are as slow as shite...not even proper sports cars"

"Its a proper hairdresser's car"

At this point i laughed out loud and blew him a kiss.

He left. I thought "shit! he'll damage El 'beast". I quickly changed and ran to my beloved to find a note underneath my wiper:

"you are a w*nker"

i thought to myself, "your point being?"

And that's the end of that.

In conclusion we drive ford engined kit cars. lovely.
