So after carefully loading the SD wheels into the back of my 2011 Ford Fiesta I jumped into the driving seat and turned on the ignition.......strange......my lights flickered - the speedo display was kind of oblong and very dim. I got out of the car in a confused sate.

I looked at the key ring........said 'GM' on it. The car had also turned from red to metallic green. What the f*ck was going on here?

I went back to the rear of the vehicle. It was a 'boot' rather than a hatchback. I recall 'heaving' both wheels into the boot of this old green metallic Vauxhall. Could not help but notice the end of the plate ending in a 'V' .......alloy plates with plastic raised digits.
Odd though. I turned up in a 2011 Ford and here I was about to leave in a 1979 Vauxhall......
Is this all a dream?

Really dim lighting on the dash. I frantically try and fire her up - lights getting dimmer with very turn of the key.....she's firing but after around five minutes of trying, she is having none of it, A Supertramp song starts to come on the radio.....I switch the ignition key off. I'm away from home and am a little panicked........  |

It's raining, it's pouring the old man is.......
I'm quite sure anyone who has been alive these past 70 years can complete the lyrics.

All confused and alone in the dark and going for the ignition key again for one more attempt at getting her to fire a voice shouts out from the darkness in the seat beside me......'stop'.
There she is - a youngish female - fair hair and very nice teeth.
