Well it wasn’t a new car, second hand, but I love the RrrRrRr of the engine. I looked into the rear view mirror and straightened my lipstick, patted down my hair, got out the powder puff for a last min touch up.
Was the first time I had ever taken the wheel, first time I swivelled round the corner and almost knocked down the “baji walla”.
As I took the sharp exit towards the main road I knew this would be “do or die”. After this I’d be entering the world of fast cars, erratic lane changers and so much more. I clutched onto my gear and drove ahead.
It wasn’t so bad…first time driving alone in my first car, my leg feverishly alternating between the accelerator and the brake. No accidents, no mistakes, I the king (or rather queen) of the road!!!
Pops was waiting for me as I drove up…I opened up the side door and he came in and “clicked” this picture, 100% natural, totally unaware.
