Broke my Cherry!

[sailorbaz]

I know I've been quiet lately, not being able to post from the ship being the main reason, the other being I've not really had a good run in the car since I got home on Monday.

Well, after nearly 10 years of 0 points motoring, I finally broke my cherry yesterday afternoon after a serious good drive from Glasgow to Stranraer on some backroads.

I'd been fairly flying along, into XXX figures at some points, always keeping a good eye out for the boys in blue to show face and it was all going well. Got onto a nice straight bit of road, and was cruising really. Checked the mirror, nothing for about 500 yards, looked a couple of seconds later, car in the distance closing RAPIDLY I though, "Oh hear we go" Picked a cog, as soon as he got behind me nailed it in 3rd got to 90 (in a 60) and he was good enough to put the lights on and show me I was being naughty. I acknowledged them and the lights went off. Pulled in and the usual stuff, as I imagined it anyway.

1st thing I thought was, BOOF, there goes my licence, WHEN did they catch me? Anyway, as soon as he said we measured your average speed over 4 miles to be 82.9mph which apparently on those roads is pretty quick for a car. Funny though, I was relieved that they were doing me for 82.9 as the 3 of us knew I was doing more than that at times.

They were a couple of nice guys actually and even nice enough to tell me the CSL was some car and asking me loads of questions about it.

Anyway, £60 and 3 points done. Hope it's my first and last but it's just so damn easy sometimes when the roads are right, traffic's light and you've a full tank! And of course, the 'Black Eyed Peas' were blasting through the pishy stereo. Sorry, I know it's bad to have to radio on when driving hard, but hey. It'd been a long drive.

Anyway, is that me in some kind of naughty boy club now? Bealo, am I welcome in Thailand now???
