Is it a stealth boast or have you been listening to Tracy Chapman?

Wuldric · 03/07/2013 23:50

Nah, not a stealth boast

Just sometimes I wonder what keeps us hanging on in there

Particularly with teenagers

And did I mention the grumpy DH?

Or the VERY fast car?

acheekyvimto · 03/07/2013 23:53

Wuldric · 03/07/2013 23:55

YABU. You wont be allowed to drive it fast anywhere. Your teenagers or grumpy Dh will probably borrow it all the time.

What kind of car is it anyway?

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 03/07/2013 23:59

I too have teenagers and a grumpy DP. Sadly my car is in bits. Can you come get me in yours??

acheekyvimto · 03/07/2013 23:59

I'm now listening to it on you tube. What car do you have?

Wuldric · 04/07/2013 00:02

Deal :)

We will run amok. It will be fun :)

Shall we have a mumsnet car cruise. We'll start talkin bout a revoloution.

Wuldric · 04/07/2013 00:06

This revolution. I'm in but grumpy DH's have to be the first against the wall. I don't know about the teenagers. What do you suggest?

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 04/07/2013 00:07

Could we walk amok? My legs ache tonight?

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 04/07/2013 00:08

Or have a Thelma and Louise style road trip? Is your car convertible?

Wuldric · 04/07/2013 00:08

We don't have to walk. We have a car :)

Nombrechanger · 04/07/2013 00:09

Bet your car isn't as cool as mine.

Wuldric · 04/07/2013 00:09

The car is indeed convertible - Thelma and Louise. I'm in (providing I can be Thelma)

acheekyvimto · 04/07/2013 00:13

Shall we leave the grumpy men to deal with the teens. After impulsegate tonight and the loony mum I'd happily get in my car and drive.

Sorry mine isn't convertible, just a bit sporty and has a nice spoiler on the back.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 04/07/2013 00:14

Excellent. Definitely DPs against the wall first. Teenagers are only intermittently annoying!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 04/07/2013 00:15

Can we miss out the driving off a cliff part?

Wuldric · 04/07/2013 00:15

The car is this If any of you want collecting tonight for a Thelma and Louise type road trip, I will come and collect. It is very fast, but typical of its type it is rubbish in snow. But hey, we're going nowhere snowy.

acheekyvimto · 04/07/2013 00:19

I'm rather jealous of your car, mine is a shed on wheels compared to that.

garlicnutty · 04/07/2013 00:19

If I had one of those, I'd want to brag. YANBU!

PerchedOnMyPeddleStool · 04/07/2013 00:20

Shit, I was hoping you'd have a proper fast car. it's a poser mediocre car that's not very fast :(

Nombrechanger · 04/07/2013 00:22

Ok so your car is cool but mine is funkier.

Wuldric · 04/07/2013 00:22

:) DH says it's a hairdresser's car. But frankly, since we have him up against the wall, who cares. We can dispense with the cliff. We are just having Tracy all the way.
