), with the emphasis on Gail.
I had the chassis completely rebuilt last summer, but up to that pont I was driving her in to work every day, even in winter, with the top down. I got stopped by the coppers on the way in to work when it was persisting down one day. Conversation went like this:
"Hello sir, do you know you're driving with the top down?"
{me, getting very wet all of a sudden} "Yes, officer"
"Is there a reason for this?"
"No, I just like fresh air. Is that all officer? I'm getting wet!"
"No, I just thought I'd tell you!"
{me} "????"
Eh?????
