OK one more from me :D

You know like when you are young and you get your first soft-top motor, you kit it out with like 200watts of sub-bass and you think you’re cool right? When you get to about 35 you realise that all those admiring looks were actually sign-language for “what a w*nk*r”.

Well anyway, I had one of them motors, and one sunny day me and a mate don the shades, drop the roof and decide to cruise through town to the accompaniement of (then) current chart topper “Gimme All Your Lovin'” by ZZ Top, pumped up to 11 on the amp (Pioneer – quality – in fact it was too powerful for car speakers at the time so I had two fuull size hi-fi speakers behind the seats!).

So we’re driving through the center of town and everyone’s looking at these two cool dudes in their cool car with the super-cool music and we’re like looking at each other thinking (cos the music was too loud to actually say it) “hey – is this a babe magnet or what?”.

ZZ Top’s anthem comes to an end as we’re sitting at traffic lights next to the dead-busy shopping precinct. Which was just about the same point we realised the exhaust had fallen off.
