Saturday nights… Drama Drama Drama
Well being after being stood up on meeting someone for a kinda date thingy, I just didnt know what to do for the rest of the night and just decided to maybe go for a drive with my mate JDM Jeff and Mikey and of course Andy-San. We ended up meeting at the BP petrol station on Greenhill Rd again as I badly needed fueling before our driving could begin, Just as I got there Jeff was turning up and parked next to my car before I noticed him having a flat tyre, He wasn’t to happy ether as they were only just fitted about 8 hours prior to him turning up with one lol. After I put some juice in my car we started to have a look at the wheel to see where it was coming from, it was weird as there were no nails or anything in the tyre it self but it kept letting down after awhile with no hissing or anything! How bizare I thought, but then again it isn’t unusaul for this kind of drama to happen to us lol. Whislt we waited for mikey to come we ended up finding that the wheel weight was holding the tyre bead away from the rim and causing a small air leak to happen, We would soon fix this by just removing it as Jeff said it had happened before, so off came the wheel before removing the little 15g weight and pumping the tyre up again… Only then to find it was still leaking so once again off it came again before Andy having a bright idea to let the air out again and to have us jump up and down on the rim untill the tyre bead re-seated it’s self again. It was weird holding hands with your best mate, kinda reminded me of ring of rosey or whatever it was called as we jumped around the tyre holding hands lol. How attractive was all i could think of, but anyway it worked and Mikey had apeared ready for us to go for drives. We started heading up Greenhill Rd as we always do only to find a little and rather tatty looking Alfa Romeo Sud over taking us and pulling away, Now to us we was just shocked as the fact a little 1975 Alfa could do this and especially the way this one looked. So away we went in hot pursuit only after stopping at Mt Lofty point to find he was there already, I thought in the back of my head “oh here we go another hot head kid in his dad’s car” and out he got with a smile on his face, this totally random guy was a very polite guy as it turned out. He was about 28 roughly and was just so interested by us, random guys and our cars. It was really nice as this was exactly what we are about, fellowship of our cars. Anyhow it turned out after us telling him what we owned that his car was actually running a 120KW Alfa Romeo engine out of a race car he bought lol, The car weighs only 800kg if that so it was a rocket for sure. He just was so interested in us, like we were stars or famous race drivers or something lol, He told us about how he had heard about us three up in the hills and how we are really fast guys in the hills etc. Well anyway after talking with him and making a new friend we decided to head off down Gorge way and meet up at the local BP down there for a break and something to eat. It was a good night in the end with lots of laughs and carrying on, just good mates with good ways. Prefect night I would say. : )
