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....

Nice one James!

Did you think you were James Bond for a moment?

Kinda reminds me of that Led Zepplin movie.

very cool!

Great story.  I'm envious.  

Wow!  Tough day at work, eh?

Do you need a helper James?

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.
