the case for retesting

[paolow]

nice sunny day - ill wash my car.
all going well until an elderly neighbour pops over for a chat which soon turned into a lecture on how im a 'poor driver'. i described an nsl sign and asked him if he knew what it meant. no. what is the maximum speed limit for that road. dunno - i never do more than 30 anywhere unless its a motorway when i do 50. ffs. recently he went to gatwick and was so lost in the whole situation that he actually had a compass as he knew gatwick was to the south west and didnt want to get lost. oh yeah - and this was inbetween branding every single person who drove down my road - at the limit or otherwise a 'maniac'. and to think i fixed his radiator and kept him on the road. what was i thinking? i apologise in advance for anyone who lives in bromley who has do deal with him on the road.

Perhaps he has always been a plonker.

Out of interest, what vehicle does he choose to cause chaos in ?

My guess is it's a Rover 214 (hate them, old story)

its an A reg maroon vw polo. i drove it for a laugh once as bizarrely he always leaves the keys in it and it was the most shocking car ive ever driven. its not because it was a polo but more that it hasnt been maintained so the clutch bites right at the top, the brakes dont brake etc. steer well clear.

why don't you move it round the corner so he comes out one morning and goes:

"shit, someones stolen my car, perhaps i should take this as a message that i should never drive again as i'm blatantly a numpty..."
