Illegal Driving
Tuesday 15th May 2007 05:47:08 PM
The other day I was sorting all the little things that were bugging me with my car, got the wipers replaced, a tyre changed, and an indicator light fixed. Decided to put the icing on the cake and got the car cleaned inside out. When the guy was washing the windscreen I noticed the road tax expires at the end of this month. Shit, I never look at things like that.
So when I got home I'm feeling quite happy with myself (I'd been delaying these little tasks since forever), I see dad and say ...
"Got my car sorted, should be no problems now ... by the way did you know my road tax is finishing this month?"
"No. You'll need to take your MOT certificate to get it renewed."
"Ah K, no worries"
(a few minutes pass and ...)
"Hey where is my MOT certificate?"
"You should know, it's your car" he says
"Yeah but ... I've only got my insurance documents, rest of the documents you've got em"
"Have I? No, you must have em somewhere"
"Er no ... I've only got my insurance, I know cos they're in my drawer upstairs. You bought the car so you must have 'em."
(For some reason, me and dad always play the blame game)
"I don't think so, it's your car you'll have them with the insurance papers ... go check"
I bring down my insurance papers and hand him the envelope. He's like ...
"You're good ain't ya, you've not even opened the envelope!" (starts laughing)
"I don't need to, I'm insured (just to shut him up). Now you go check for the MOT"
I follow him to the living room and he starts checking his drawer ...
"Well here's the logbook, and here's the MOT"
"See I told you you had it" (in my head I'm thinking 1 nil to me, pom pom strikes again)
Next minute the dude starts laughing his head off ... I'm like what's so funny share the joke.
"Expired ... November ... 06" just about managing to get the words out inbetween his laughter.
I'm thinking 'oh shiiite' how did I let this one happen while dad on the other hand has gone to the kitchen and is having a laugh telling mum what a 'sayana puttar' I am. I walk in and he says sarcastically ...
"SIX MONTHS ILLEGAL DRIVING, I should have you arrested."
Yeah yeah whatever, he couldn't stop telling everyone the story and having a joke about it. He did however get the MOT done the very next day for me.
ps: I think I deserve atleast an extra 10% to the "how paki are you" score because of this.
