cos you walk up to the car, blip your alarm

hop into the snug recaro, pop on the radio face. turn the ignition key and the engine fires into life (most times )

let it warm up for a while, driving slow, people watch the car, people recognise it in traffic. appreciate nods from people who know what it is, rolled eyes from people who dont.

you pull away from the lights, gently in first, look at the temp gauge, nice and warm, slip it into second..........bury your foot...............

brrraaaaaaarrrrrrppppppp, chatter, brrrrraaaaaaarrrrrrrppppp chatter

and the grin spread accross your face as all the other cars turn into small specs in your rear view mirror.

you can't beat it
