Today I got myself serviced and also got my fuel gauge and my clock fixed. Anthony returned this morning from an overnight trip to Brisbane, and then we were on the road and heading up the Gold Coast highway towards Scooter HQ. Trips to Southport are always fun. I usually get fixed or serviced while Anthony sits around drinking coffee and telling stories. (so really for him its not a lot different to any normal day…..)

The trip up and back was normal for a saturday morning..........with the exception of almost being forced off the road by this weeks winner of Monaco’s Award for Special Drivers….Many of us have had a close call with a car, truck, bus etc, and the best way to tell you why this driver was the winner is to tell you what the driver didn’t do.

She was driving a dark blue, NSW registered Mitsubishi Mirage…..which was perhaps her downfall as she thought that because she was in a mirage, she didn’t actually exist……She obviously didn’t look at her mirrors, or over her shoulder or she would have seen me as I was right beside her. She didn’t indicate, she didn’t look again, and then she didn’t seem to notice that I was forced off to the side of the road, hitting the brakes hard to avoid missing her…… she then sped off into the distance, with me following her, blasting away with the horn while Anthony indicated with his left hand that she was #1 on the list……

I think what annoyed Anthony the most is that this special driver didn’t even acknowledge that she had done anything wrong…..even some abuse from her would have been something, but no….she just took off like we weren’t even there….And so blue mirage lady, you are our Special Driver of the week.

What was comforting was the reaction from the other motorists around at the time who seemed to be shaking their heads in amazement. They thought she was tool as well.

But despite that, it was a good day out. Any day out on the road is a good one….now I just have to get Anthony to stop staring at the HD200 when he’s at Scooter HQ and we’ll be all good……

And now it’s time to announce this week’s winner of Monaco’s Celebrity Pillion Passenger of The Week, and for this weeks episode we return to the formula that has been the basis for this segment. She’s an actress and she’s a brunette.

So what is special about this week’s winner……She was born in Panama and rose to fame as “Mia Torretto” in The Fast & The Furious. She has a cat named Delilah and a dog named Ella. In 2005 she was named Maxim magazine’s 54th sexiest woman in the world, and in 2006 she was awarded the #59 spot.

Despite her driving ability in the Fast & The Furious, she didn’t have a drivers licence before she made the movie.

In 2009 she is due to return in the 4th Fast & The Furious movie as “Mia”. She once dated Mark Wahlberg, she’s married to the producer of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning” which sse starred in, she is the very lovely Jordana Brewster.

 

Have a great week everyone, see you one the black-stuff, ride safe, and have fun….
