I have a car.
An amazing car.
His name is Lance.
He is a 1.3 Mitsubishi Lancer GLX.
I didn’t take off the R it was like this when I got it, so the name was obvious.
We’ve done a lot together, driven around France in two weeks, and silly trips like Cork to Lahinch to Bundoran and back to Lahinch in one day, and he has taken a lot of beatings for me.
Most weekends I’ll be tearing down some country dirt track trying to scope out new waves and no matter what kind of bumps and rocks I make him go over he carries on like the true hero he is.
Who needs stupid SUV’s, Lance is King.
Some people do have a go at me because Lance seems to be in a perpetual state of uncleanliness, but I saw he’s going to get dirty again so why bother, he still drives doesn’t he? Fair enough the inside usually does resemble a beach that has just had some crazy party happen on it, but again, he still gets me places.
Recently I came across a “sign” I was stopped at Petrol station and came across this car wash encouraging me to clean Lance.
But being a devout sceptic I dually ignored it.
Unfortunately our fascist government feels the need to test Lance’s road-worthiness.
Pah, who are they to judge what Lance can and can’t do.
One of these silly tests involves the tracking of the car, who cares if he doesn’t always go in straight line?
That’s why there’s a steering wheel!
Apparently I have 21 days to fix this problem and go back to them.
Do you have any more pictures of the car wash equipment? I would love to see some equipment from your side of the pond. So they inspect your car to see if the alignment is straight?
