Cool Kids

[UKBob]

Last weekend some kids came up to the cerb to talk. It was funny, but the little chap with the glasses who did all the talking was so deadly serious it was also kinda cute.

Kids: Cooool car! Is it a ferrari?
Me: Hey guys. Its a TVR
Kids: Nice car! You were by the shops that time, wernt you?
Me: Hmm, you asked me to rev it up last time didnt you?
Kids: Yeah. We recognized you. But do you know what...
Me: Whats that?
Kids: The subaru Impreza is the fastest car in the world!!
Me: They're really fast arnt they
Kids: My dads getting one. Do you know what else?
Me: You're going to tell me arnt you
Kids: When I grow up, im going to be a boy racer!!!
Me: Hmmm. When you grow up, you must remember one thing though.
Kids:
Me: When you get a car, dont stick bits on it, you know, like spoilers and stuff
Kids: Because... someone might steal them?

Not all boy racers are bad

You should have put him straight what the fastest cars are, so if he sees a Ferrari he'll ask if it's a TVR

And what's with the:

Not sure if I will be able to get used to it

Dave.

While i'm at it.. A transparent version might look better with the White/Grey backrounds on posts.

We chatted more, i set him straight on which is fastest. When he said he wanted to be a boyracer, the serious but triumphant look on his face will forever be burned into my mind In a nice way of course

You have to become teds gimp, which involves dressing up in leathers and meeting him at a secret location once a month with the other avatar bretherin. Tis but a small price to pay for an avatar, these days.

My 8 year old son is forever telling people that my Chim has two engines making it the second coolest car in the world.

Most cool is reserved for my neighbours Jag E type V12 Convertible which has 4 engines....
