This week, I arr bin mostly...
Discussion
... getting photographed!
Yes, yes, I know... it's a hard life and all that, but I guess I should add that its actually the SportsRacer in the shots not me... oh and I should maybe also let on that it's been lads with digis and mobiles and not David Bailey behind a zillion quid lens... but hey, its the thought that counts!
There was no way in the world I got into an Elise for that kind of thing, but as it's happened a few times this week I thought I'd share it as I know loads of others have had similar experiences
With this fantastic up-turn in the weather, there's been heaps of top-down wide-smile driving going on. On Monday, a friend needed a couple litres of oil in her Fiesta Diesel... so naturally I offered to whizz out and pick some up. The garage a mile up the road 'looked kinda closed', so I headed to the next town... then the next... and another... Hour and a half later I got back
As a special bonus, I even remembered to pick up the oil!
Wednesday brought my Wedding Anniversary. Special meal at home was always on the cards... its only right after all
"I'll pick up the Chinese then!" 40 miles and one hour later (after a lad leaning into the car as we knuckled up with "Yo, respect to the wheels" outside the take-away before his mates crowded to take piccys) there it was... bloody cracking Cantonese style sweet and sour chicken it was too
Dropped my lad off at cricket practice this morning and just nipped off to grab a coffee at the services (20 miles away!) and came out coffee in hand to find four foreign lads crowded round admiring her/him/whatever he/she is. Lots of photos and was even asked "Can I asks you, how much did you pay for ze car?". Bit of an odd question - given that I wouldn't necessarily be able to instantly equate a foreign currency in relative terms, but hey ho, "Lots!" just about covered it!
Anyone else been getting 'paparazzi’d' lately..?

Couple of weeks back, glanced out the window to see a couple of lads passing by. I'm thinking "carry on walking, nothing to see. If those chavs so much as touch my car....." They didn't carry on walking so I'm getting ready to go out and see what they think they are playing at when I spot it. Phone up in front of the face. There's the colour display. It's a camera and they're taking piccies.
Nice.
Nice.
