Turn the Volume Down

All beat and no heat. Greg used to own a VW Citi Golf with a 1300cc carburetor fed lawnmower motor. It produced about as much power as a pack of silk worms but that wasn’t a problem because he had a bazooka sized exhaust coming out the back of it. A real potato launcher type thing that made that little motor sound like the angry cursing of Thor. 

Raver Greg

Greg was never much of a dancer. Nirvana and Placebo didn't rate disco rave madness all that highly and so, in turn, never did he. However, tonight, there is this 15 year old guy on the dance floor in Recess giving it absolute hell. All alone, there in the center of the room, at 03:00am and dancing as if the floor was electrocuting him. This guy who looked, dressed and drank just like Greg…

Not happy clappy bee bop bollocks dance music – no no – I am talking about Rave.

“This looks like a great spot to learn how to throw a doughnut” says Greg to which I have a look around and drunkardly agree. So full lock to the right, pick up the revs and drop the clutch: The SX flicks out her back side and spins about a third of a circle. “Okay, more acceleration this time” I say and he revs his Nissan off the limiter and drops the accelerator flat– round and round we go! Our first doughnut in his car and boy is it fun. Until we spot the flashing blue lights…
