What has your "friend" been up to?

My friend has recently acquired a new sporty model, although these days the sporty model is not an alternate to the daily. My friend is hoping to test drive the new sporty model next week. He reckons that, if all goes well, this may be the sort of test drive that will ensure that if you are not blind when it starts, you will be blind when it ends. He refuses to say whether or not there will be any stopping for a wee as part of this test drive.
My friend advises your friend that you may need to have a lie down for quite sometime after trying out your new sporty model. Apparently that is my friends experience. Talking of blindness, my friend happened to mention in the office some years ago the folly of a drive through bank having instructions in Braille! (this had been mentioned in the news that day) He was lambasted by the PC ladies in the office for his uncaring attitude to the disabled.

As my friend has no sporty little number new or second hand he is reduced to drinking apple sours to make himself feel better.
My friend is still on the same sporty model he picked up quite some time ago. He tells himself it can still hold its own in the sports stakes because he believes himself to be gallant.He refuses to compare it against a more ‘current’ sporty model because he’s not a complete f
king idiot. A nearby thread about slurry and a Mercedes reminded me of when my friend and his dad were walking back from a pub and saw that a local idiot who was notorious for bad and anti social parking had parked square across the pavement, which they knew was often used by an old person in a wheelchair. My friend and his dad felt a bit bad the next day when they recalled that they had let the air out of all four tyres.

My friend thinks letting air out of the tyres on a wheelchair is disgraceful.Buster73 said:

Can we do a socially distanced riot? It also makes tactical sense - much harder for the Fascist beast troops to mow us down if we form a loose skirmish line. I have a bunch of cars full of rapidly degrading petrol. Also a massive stack of empty booze bottles (because reasons). How do you spell Molotov?
My friend pointed out that Molotov cocktails, unlike other more relaxing cocktails, require the bottles to still be full.Smitters said:

My friend thinks that your friend might be wrong.
My friend is currently enjoying a small dram of Laphroaig. He likes the slightly TCP-esque tang, but wishes it were stronger.
Apropos the Molotov cocktail, my friend is lead to believe that the mix within the bottle was to include petrol and a heavier fuel such as paraffin or diesel, hence the cocktail part of the name. Whilst petrol ignites easily, its low flash point and high volatility means it doesn't cause much damage. The heavier elements stick more and have a higher energy density, thus fk up more st.
From many a miss-spent youth, my friend confirms that a bottle that is half to two thirds full is easier to launch and follows a better path as a projectile.
My friend also wishes to seek guidance relating to matters female.
He has been in erm.... discussions with a sporty model about Ugandan discussions (or was it negotiations?) for a test drive once lockdown is over.
This particular number has expressed an interest in being broken into, potentially with a view to being TWOCC'd and ragged about left right and centre. The number in question didn't mind if front or back doors were smashed in to obtain the keys.
My friend is a little overwhelmed and not quite sure how to proceed, as whilst on the one hand thinks this sounds like a lovely spirited drive in the country....... he is also wary for fear of appearing on police, camera, action.

My friend advises that before going on a spirited drive in the country in any new sporty model - that checking the rubber is important. Good rubber protects you from little bumps and other accidentsThough he does recall that Breadvan used to share a handy bill of sale note for car purchases and wonders if a similar document maybe useful in your friends circumstances ?

My friend, having spent a number of years in Norn Iron, says half full is best. Otherwise it's likely to go off in your hand said the Priest to the altar boy- allegedly.
Interesting. My friend thinks that while the giver may see the bottle as half full, the recipient may see it as half empty. Then empty. Then everywhere. They definitely don't start emptythough, or you're just chucking glass bottles with rags in the top.My friend just went out for the first "proper" drive since lockdown, and he was reversing into a car park, and gently bumped into the wall at 2 mph. Car is an old beater Golf, so he does not care about scratches, the number plate and the bumper stayed on which he considered a success. Most importantly my friends cars water temperature only went up to 75 degrees on the motorway but now it goes and stays at 90! He is considering to open a garage called "Maldonado Garages"
