Well that doesn't happen every day..
Got some work 1 day a week at a big Victorian house, taking over from the retired gardener.
Yesterday I noticed the owner in his (triple) garage, messing around with a car under a tarp..I went over for a chat and took a sharp intake of breath when I realised what it was - a 1961 Aston Martin DB8, absolutely immaculate!
I got a bit light-headed when I glancedto the right and saw the other two cars, a DB4 and an E-Type Jag, same vintage.
'Fancy a spin?' he says..
So, minutes later, I'm hurtling at 90mph down country lanes in the passenger seat of a 'Roman Purple' DB8, the owner cackling and parping the horn like Mr Toad.
Never a dull moment in the gardening game....

Kinda reminds me of that Led Zepplin movie.

Only a spin in the one car?
Not too impressive.

This must have been a really good dream...you awake now? Things like this seldom happen...I am glad it worked out that way.
