Not being there myself, I am repeating this story after being retold it a few weeks ago.
Ben had a car.
Unfortunately it was not a Metro.
Ben had a huge sound system in this car. 600W sub, 6x9s 200w speakers everywhere, tweeters the lot, Ben loved his car.
The only thing Ben didn’t have was a driving licence...
The decision was made to try their hand at go-kart racing.
The only problem was the Metro was in use by Josh's mum. The fact she was a majority share holder was starting to become an issue .
So Ben came up with the great idea of taking his.
They got to the race track without a hitch, Mikes younger brother in the back panicking all the way there as Ben still not worked out how to keep the car in a straight line at that point.
It was on the way home that the fun started.
Back then you could say that Ben was easy to lead on, you could also say he liked pies a bit, and both would be a huge understatement.
As they left the gravel road leaving the race track Josh shouted to Ben “handbrake turn hand brake turn!!!”
Ben took this as good advice since Josh was the only one with a valid licence at the time.
And pulled up his handbrake..
the car span , and span, and span the other way for a bit , then found a tree in the middle of the road and parked itself neatly in the trunk.
Everyone leaving the race track cheered as they drove by, honking their horns and offering the lads abuse rather than help.
When Ben phoned his dad asking for a lift home, and explained about the near miss with the fox that he had to swerve around, and unfortunately, to save the poor foxes life he had to use a tree as a brake. He dad was not too pleased as you can imagine.
