My memory was certain we went to an epic Stein party.
The photos show it may have been an eppstein party
Actually - my Stag. Long story for another day. But fact was we rocked up with a box of āflashing sunglassesā seemed they were popular in Germany, so the lads told the lasses they could have a pair If they snogged me. Who was gonna argueā¦
Moral of the story, IF you ever see a box of flashing sunglasses & are planning a trip to Fruhlingens or Oktober Fest, take them

I smacked my old chevette into the back of a fiesta once, on the A3057/A27 junction by the railway bridge near Broadlands. It was before the roundabout was put there, you had to look almost backwards from the slip road when you joined the main road, I thought the guy had long gone but heād stalled his car, and stopped. By the time I looked back it was too late, and I rear ended his motor.
I mention this piece of trivia because when we got out of our cars to survey the damage, he shook his head ruefully and said āwell that didnāt take long, Iāve just picked it up.ā Turned out it was brand new, from Hendys in Shirley, I think it had 4 miles on the clock.

You say that. I was on the hill coming out of Hythe towards Fawley waiting to join the main road when my built like a tank Vauxhall Viva with tow hitch got rear ended by a new type MK3 Escort. Got out and had a look and there was a liitle bit of paint on the bumber of the Viva the Escort was fucked. the tow hitch had gone through the radiator that was leaking all over the floor.
The young lad driving it was nearly in tears as he said āI have just picked up my bossās new car from the garageā
parting comments as I left were āgood luck with your chosen careerā
NB no insurance details were passed on during this incident.

I had a Vauxhall Victor.Bench seat in the front it was the dogs bollocks
Funnily enough i had one of them too, circa 1972, automatic gearbox, column stick under the steering wheel. As you say, bench seat at the front. Great for shagging. Oh yes!

A Vauxhall Viva was the first car I drove on 4 June 1966. It was a '65 like this one, same model and colourā¦
Eight driving lessons for 8 guineas but when using my Austin A35 it went down to 17s 6d per lesson.
Are you sure it wasnāt in groats?
No I always paid in Farthings.
On the subject of straight outta garage smashes I give you the 20 minute Lambo story.
Ouch
Almost worth reading the fail for!
I wish you told me sooner Lady Slowlane and I would have been there to salvage parts for our Lambo.

That poor chap. Forked out Ā£200 grand, and all he has to show for it is a reminder that he does indeed have a very small dick.
