Was up the pub last night with Broster and another mate of ours and our ladies....

Anyway i conveinced my lovely other half that i fancied more than the permitted amount of beer in order for me to drive so she agrred to drive us home.

First time id been a passegner in my own car for quite a while.

Felt really really odd - but not a bad ride at all

My old man has driven me before, when I was lashed up sprawled across the back seat.
Was ok from memory although gave him the lecture before we set off.

Sit in the back with two of your mates in the front, thats even more intresting.

I done it in my SXi on the home from Southend was I was tired and went to sleep.

Yep its also odd when you see your self on video.
When we went to belguim last year for the Vauxhall show there is a clip of me doing a fly by looks and sounds ace - but odd all the same.

i have been in the back seat of my car pleasantly drunk, with my mate following behind in his car, we came to a junction, and my mate being a crap driver that he is, locked his wheels up behind us and ironically, i had the best view of someone about to crash into my car but fortunately he didnt hit me, and i always drive my car now.
