Show off......!
> I had a fun afternoon on Wednesday-drove up to Santa Monica to have a lunch
> date. So, excited and nervous I set out for the 40 minute ride. Got off the
> freeway and was driving down Santa Monica Blvd-stopped at a light at 4th (I
> think it was)-Al Stewart on the stereo, loads of people out and about, the
> light changes...et Voila! My accelerator peddle is all the way to the
> floor!
> I jump out at the speed of light, throw open the bonnet (always a
> showstopping move in any crowd) and there! The throttle cable had come lose
> >from the Weber-reach in, pulled it a couple of times-nothing! Get it hooked
> back up, run around and check the peddle-it's good! Run and lower the
> bonnet
> get back into the car and drive off as the light changes and the crowd gasps!
> Of course, by the time I met my date, I was greasy, hot, rushed and sweaty!
> At least I didn't get a parking ticket (didn't have time to get change for
> the meter.) I'd say that was a successful afternoon.
