A clients £175k Bentley Continental Speed in Royston Herts. I was doing a private job for Martin at his home and he was looking over my Beast in his driveway. Asked me loads of questions about it, then from out of nowhere he asked if I would like to drive his car! Me?
Is water wet? is the sky blue? is the grass green? Yes ruddy please! I was trying to act all cool about it but I failed pretty miserably I might add; he put the keys in my hand, told me about the electronic handbrake then went indoors.
I could not believe he just left me to it, there were no rules, no orders, no warnings
I drove through the village WITH A HUGE GRIN ON MY FACE and feeling like a million dollars, I aimed for the A10 dual carriageway and gave it a quick squirt - holy ruddy cow!! 10 or 12 miles later I decided to turn back and return this gorgeous piece of machinery to it's rightful owner.
Pulled up majestically into his driveway and he came out to meet me; "Back so soon" he asked, I thought to myself
I praised him for having such a marvellous machine, told him it warranted an investment of a few pounds from me on some lottery lucky dips! He burst out laughing and said anytime you would like to borrow it you only have to ask!
