So I was driving to my mum's house yesterday, it being Mothers' Day and all,
and I realise there's a car sitting right up my arse. I wonder why, then
realise that I'm doing about 40mph in a 60mph zone, on a lovely straight bit
of road in perfect driving conditions.

Not only am I driving a car at 40mph in a 60mph zone, but it's a Volvo.

And not only am I driving a Volvo at 40mph in a 60mph zone, but my wife is
sitting beside me knitting.

And not only am I driving a Volvo at 40mph in a 60mph zone while my wife
sits beside me knitting, but we're listening to Glenn Campbell on the stereo.

It was all a bit of a shock. In my defense, I have a stinking cold and I'd
normally be doing 55-60mph on that stretch of road, but it seemed to be a
sudden glimpse into the future.

"Nice car"
"Thanks, we used to have one of those!"

What Sir needs is a nice sensible Triumph Tiger 955i.
