Suits you Sir!
Discussion
I had an important appointment today which required me to wear a suit.
I was ready and looking slick (
) and began looking for the keys to El 'Mariachi.
where are they? 
I couldnt find them. I looked outside and he was gone 
Poor lad. Stolen by my parents again
Anyway, i had to take Sir Beast (with a knackered bearing...it was only a very short distance). The thing is, i couldnt get in with my suit on!
I had nowhere to hang my jacket and my trousers got creased getting out
Question is:
Do any of you (who use your elise everyday) wear a suit to work? how do you get in and out? where do you hang your jacket? How do you avoid creases? and why do i have cravings for a custard tart from greggs?
I felt like a Ponce ()

Call me conventional but I use the doors...
dragstar said:

Use roof tensioner bar to hang suit jacket from hangar or hook hangar through seatbelt tensioner...
dragstar said:

Iron and ironing board my dear boy...

Do you really want me to answer that? OK
You're a custard tart eating ponce
Honestly, typical bloody graduate, straight out of University full of marks and bigshot job aspirations but zero bloody common sense. Probably needs directions to wipe his batty!
GET A GRIP LAD!!! P.S. Re: Important appointment - did they give you some coal tar ointment to rub into it?

Thankfully, the custard tart fetish has worn off...."get in maaa belly"
I suppose i dont have any common sense. I can understand/explain the intricate and complex law relating to the recovery of economic loss in the Tort of Negligence, but i cannot, to this day, tie a tie
what will i do without mum-sie?
Seriously, those custard tarts are infectious. Infact, the custard tart is much like an elise.
Gentleman, let me elaborate:
Both are small packages with an aluminium component, both come with a "soft top" and both dont take too well to fat
s sitting in them (ask S work's car) Indeed the analogy is striking.

Bu99er, he's found out.
I promise to send her home soon....
She's been doing a lot of sub-contracting hasn't she. Just make sure she clears up after herself skinner - you should have seen the mess at mine last week

Glad to see normality has returned, i.e. drag talking utter b
ks again. "Elise's and custard tarts my @rse Barb!" Since when has anyone sat in a custard tart!? You are one sick twisted cat drag.... should make a perfect barrister with your high heels and stockings hidden under your black cape and wig.
Deuce
I've sat in a huge custard tart.
Just because your too lardy, doesnt mean that it doesnt go on. Perhaps if you were allowed to date out of the family you would be able to "see clearly now the rain has gone".
Although. perhaps your right. Perhaps nobody has "sat" in a custard tart. However i have certainly "been in" one....ask ya missus Aiiiiii!
Back to work you, im going for a beer and then perhaps some lucky female will get a hot beef injection

Maybe you have a point. It sounds like Skinner and S Works are only dating members of your family at the moment. dragstar said:

Yes, your mum.

Are you starting a pupillage, Drag? Where are you based? Drop me an email!
My 111r arrives on Sept 1st, so I'll also be trying out these anti-crease ideas :-) . ATM, in my MGB, I put my jacket in the boot and hang my waistcoat over the passenger seat.

In the end, I decided on Ardent Red with black interior. I also went for the Touring Pack, body-colour hardtop and sports exhaust, but decided against aircon for weight/power loss issues.
It feels like I have been waiting for ages (I wanted a 54 plate), but now it's only a couple of weeks away, and I can hardly wait! I just have to sort out my final insurance quotes and then I'm good to go. Exercising self-restraint during running-in will be tricky, though. I can't stand the thought of no VVTLi action for 1000mi :-(

You think you had problems in a suit - I set out in my Elise the other night in a rather tight mini skirt....easy getting in (have learnt to slide in quite elegantly) but getting out was a completely different matter! :0
So if any girls out there have discovered the secret to getting back out again elegantly please let me know, since until then I am always going to be wearing jeans!!
