Saturday Night Drive’s
My saturday night… Hmm usuallly such boring night’s too… Well it all started to happen at about 7pm when I was speaking to JDM Jeff (japanese domestic market for those who are wondering, I dont know why we call him that as he is chinese not japanese) on msn and asked him what was happening tonight and if he wanted to go driving, We normally always try to catch up for a drive in the hill’s just because we love it. Anyhow after sussing out a plan, I was badly itching for a drive as to me I really needed the time alone as to ignore my life for awhile, kinda why I go driving, as to me whilst I’m driving I’m focused on driving and nothing else while in the back of my mind I’m heavily thinking about my issues and problems… I just find that whilst I’m driving everything is ok in life and all is forgotten. Anyhow Jeff continued to tell me to meet up at Greenhill rd’s Pizza Hut at 10pm, I was already tired but like I mentioned before I really needed to go out for awhile and I saw my escape so I got ready and started to leave in my little RX7.
I was meant to pick my friend Richard up to acompany me on the drives as he had lost his liecence and I can imagine a life with out driving so I was to take him, but Jeff mentioned Andy-san needed a lift and he didnt want him to come with him as he plays with his Final Fantasy figures on his dash (which he hates and being asian its a must to have them on there too as its JDM), Anyhow so I decided on taking Andy-san instead of Richard, but you see I never had been to Greenhill’s Pizza Hut before and didnt know where I was going and richard did but oh well I knew I’d work it out in the end… So I was on my way, to a get away and to a meeting of friends to talk about random things and cars (never women funny enough).
I arrived at 10pm on the dot to be welcomed by about 8 people, I only knew a few but the rest seemed ok. We parked our cars and stood around talking about cars, or how fast that car would be that just drove by and what modifications would be done to one anothers cars next, I rarely spoke except I just couldnt bare standing around talking crap in the cold and about shit I couldnt care about anymore, I really was dying to just drive and burry my thoughts away. So out of the blue I shouted lets just go ok and away we went. We all stayed close to one another and kept an eye out for the Police as we knew we would be playing with fire after the Magil rd crash that killed two and injured one badly, The police have made it clear that they will not except hooning and I totally agree but the point is we don’t hoon, we drive and we do it in the hill’s for good reasons and points, a few would be because in the hill’s your aloud to drive faster then 60 anyway so even if we drove say 10 over the 80 sign we arnt going stupidly fast and the other point is it’s away from public harm although it was still very early and I really hate driving fast before 11pm as people are still driving in the hills on there way home or going out. Anyhow we soon were off on our drive, as we travelled up greenhill rd we got stuck behind an obivous non hills driver as they were travelling at about 40k’s which may seem a safe way to drive but it becomes dangerous in the hills especially with the blind corners, soon youll have some idoit in a commodore driving in to your arse, I’ve almost had this happen from being stuck behind a slow driver so I didnt want to stick around, so I over took them. We all made it up Mount Lofty before heading down to Lobey way, we reached Lobey foodland car park and sat waiting for others to catch up and to give our cars a needed rest. I remember looking at my phone and it must have been about 11.30pm by then before my mate said the others have broken down just down the road, so away we went to help out.
We found them stuck dead in the middle of the road, The driver said the car just died and there was nothing, no power or anything. The guy knew nothing about cars (another thing I hate about bringing new ppl up in the hills as you can be left in the middle of no where with no help so you have to know min things about a car and how it works), So anyway as a team we were there to help and try and fix this car, I had a look and found the alternator was shot, Covered in oil the oil had just soaked it and stopped it working (my point to keeping your car clean and maintained lol) so he was stuck there really as nothing could fix it and we just sat about winging about ways to fix it, it was hopeless and cold and I was really thristy and really didnt want to stay around. Whats more he was with the RAA but refused to use them as he thought someone would steal his crappy wheels whilst he went went home for a tow driver to come. I got really tired of the windges and then all of a sudden, screeeeeeeeechhhh BANG in the distance. We all knew what it was and quickly raced to our cars to see if we could help, I dont know how we knew which street it was down but we drove straight there with no thinking like it was intended. We drove downt he dark small side street and knew it wasnt a fellow hill’s driver as no one would be stupid enough to do crap down a side street around houses. Anyhow tadaaa we spot a AU falcon ute smashed and crushed into a stovie pole, sitting in someones garden almost taking the house with it. The guy was out shouting at his mates for laughing and all were drunk as hell. The lady came out from down the end of the street to see what had happened and she said she hear burnouts all down the road and said they were hoons and I said well we arnt, she replied I know and I think it was nice of you’s to want to come and help out so Ill put in a good word to the police about you’s. I wish I had taken some pics of it but i think the guys would have been angry at there discrase, so I never.
Anyhow after that we knew if we stayed around we would get defected by the police when they came, so we dashed to hide our cars down a off the street car park, seconds later we see blue lights driving past and a load of CFS trucks.. close call lol. Then I grew tired as it was now 1.30am and I was tired of hearing how they wanted to fix this car and never would do anything LAZY! so I just said im outa here and cruised home alone, in the dark with only the radio keeping me company, I actually got the shivers on the way home down this very blair witch section of the road, as I it was dead quiet and all of a sudden I heard VERRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAMMMMMM so loudly like a jet, it scaed the shit out of me and I got goose bumps, I still dont know what it was but it was weird as I felt it through my body like bass thumping through a sub, but it wasnt as it wasnt loud enough with volume, just vibes…. creepy anyhow I got home at 3am after driving through the city seeing everyone drunk and staggering on the streets, I was jealous of them having drunken fun in the end lol… sorry for the long writting but welcome to the life of Me Yeshua lol I got home and went to bed ready for what sunday would hold. : )
