I know I drive for a living , but tommorrow is different   Got to leave my house at 6am drive to me mothers , Southwold , pick her up then drive her to her mum's Seaford near Brighton  ( my Granny who is 93 ! and still got all her marbles ) have dinner with them then drive back , a round trip of about 400 miles , has been ages since the old Mig has had a really good run like that , so if you see a blue omega v6 cdx flying past you on the a13 , m 25 or m23  its probably me

Hi Unlucky Alf , I laughed out loud mate at your reply the worrying thing is she only stopped driving about 8 years ago . I used to go round to help her with clearing leaves / cutting grass etc , then she would insist in taking it in her car to the dump , we would sit ( for about 20 mins ) at the local high street junction , and when eventually there was nothing coming for 4 miles each way   we would pull out with the rev counter in the red , and that classic old slipping of the clutch , then when she had straightened up we would bolt off in first gear then through to second ( still with the wonderfull clutch slip involved ) and then on to the dump . It's the only time I used to wear dark glasses and sit in the back so I could sit as low in the seat as possible , just in case any of my friends were out shopping  8-)

Take care

The scary thing is, my mother's done that for as long as I can remember, and she's only turning 60 this year

And then when the car comes up for sale it says "One owner, elderly lady hence very low mileage. This car has only been used for shopping trips and is like brand new"

Hmmm....
