It's probably reasonably safe for me to relate the following tale now:
About 3 weeks ago I was taking some lads down to Inverness. We got to Berriedale Braes and on the way down I realised that the old banger in front of us was my neighbour.
So I hung back on the way down until he had gone over the bridge and was labouriously grinding his way around the first uphill bend. A quick brief to the other guys in the car and then I pounced....
I nailed the motor hard, charged up the hill behind him with lights on full beam and hand on horn. The result was as I intended, he nearly had an heart attack, virtually stalled the car and after a couple of fluffed geachanges shot over to the left hand side so I could get past him. I booted the motor again and shot past whilst waving at the wildly gesticulating neighbour behind the wheel.
I smiled and gave him the two fingered salute as I went past only to see some furious purple faced bloke behind the wheel who I'd never seen before in my life.
Wrong car.:eek:
I was brought up as a Gentleman should be and accordingly, I sped off as fast as I could and didn't slow down until I got to the Nigg roundabout......
Sorry, mate.
