cort16 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The phone rings. It's 11pm and I wouldn't normally pickup but I vagualy recognise the number so I answer it. The conversation is brief but in that moment I realised this is probably going to be one of the longest nights of my life. I get up and dress quickly downing some stale coffee I find on the bed side cabinet to try to cancel out the cheap whisky I was drinking earlier. I jump in the car I'm quickly moving through the back lanes with the headlights piercing into the darkness. The caller had been brief "I may have found what you're looking for but you need to come quickly". Could it really be happening after all this time? Having put the word out years ago that I was looking for a rare open top sports car for a client in the middle east I'd had nothing for the last 3 years. This car was an incredibly special open top development car for the UK side of the GT40 project. Was I really about to make the deal that would change my life? I'd finally be free my gambling debts and be able to provide a decent home for my ex-wife and kids. I pulled up outside the barn. A burly young man stood in the doorway the light streaming past him into the darkness of night. I jumped from the car and moved towards him. He came closer and whispered "I think found what you're looking for, it's in there under the white cover.". I could hardly breath as I walked into the barn the bright lights making it hard to focus. I caught a glimpse of the cover. I pull back the cover and I say to the burley man "this..this is Ford escort not a GT40 prototype". His eye brows furrow and he growls "It is a GT40. It's got no roof, fuel injection and a Ford badge on it". "I'll tell you like I told the giant talking bunny over there it's a G T fucking 40" He jumps in the car and starts making broom broom noises. "Get in the car he says and I'll show you what she can do" Eh, No thanks I reply. "I wasn't fucking asking he says, get in the car". I turn and start to run and I hear the car crank over. It tries to splutter to life but dies immediately. I can hear the man howling as the engine cranking slows and the starter gets stuck in the fly wheel. I think to myself those Escorts really are shite. I jump in my car an drive as fast as I can thankfull I'm still breathing. I stop a few miles, away pull out my phone and write the most important note of my life "Never visit Cumnock again" https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/461968214809105 BeEP, Kringle, MisterH and 21 others 4 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Nissan Pathfinder, currently cheap. I went to look at one of these a couple of years ago, thinking it would be a modern alternative to my Defender, what a shame the key attribute they copied from the Land Rover was a chassis rusted to fuck. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124656812845 SteersWithThrottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
