Tatton’s Terrible Driving Night (Part 1) – Mad Chaos: October 1, 1998

Ironic don’t you think, that I only had one more page to write last month yet, my good fortune of October had started to roll my way and I missed out. Oh well, maybe this month I’ll get that same chance and not stuff it up, I knew I should have written something extra to make 300.

Last night the difference came to me while I was sitting bored in front of my computer and playing ‘Sim Copter’. Beeping was coming from out the front of my house, a horn I had not heard before. Wondering if it was for me I looked out the front from my door and noticed there was a car out the front of my house. Walking outside I noticed that the car was an Accordia Turbo and then looking into the car I noticed Keith and Shawn in the passenger seat. Keith finally got his new car, he actually bought it from Engadine on Monday. Keith’s new car was dark red and as I greeted Keith he wanted to know if I would like to come out with them for a drive. Thinking that would be a good idea since I wanted to get out of the house I walked back into my room to get ready.

Arming myself with my Adidas pants, bonds shirt and hat I put my shoes on and was pretty much on my way back to the car. Shawn let me into the back and I was surprised to find a bit of space in the back there, more than I thought. The car was nice, looked nice inside and out and more importantly, the Accordia was fit with a Turbo. Heading for our drive Keith gave it some punch and even though it didn’t holler loud the turbo kicked in around the second gear and we started to scream. I’m pretty much sold that the Accordia would beat Ali’s car now, no more ifs or buts. Keith told me how they were going to race with Ali on Monday night while Imad was there. Imad mentioned that Ali had the fastest four cylinder in Campbelltown, that’s a huge overstatement. I know that the Celica near Lyssa’s house with the turbo would kick Ali’s ass. They haven’t raced yet and Keith doesn’t want to race his car but he noted that if Ace wants to race his car he would let him race it.

Dropping Shawn off at his house I asked him if he would like to come to the beach on the weekend and he was in for that. Jumping back into the front seat of the Accordia Keith drove to Campbelltown Mobil because we were to meet Tatton. Keith made the car move heading towards Campbelltown and I got to hear the Turbo in action that hit around 4000 rpm. Parking the car I headed up to talk with Tatton who was still working. Commenting about Cindy Crawford on the cover of Playboy I picked it up. Simon was already down at Mobil keeping Tatton company and as all the people were out of the store, we enjoyed Cindy Crawford.

While at Mobil in Campbelltown we bumped into Yunus who was filling up on petrol. His girlfriend was in the front seat, she was blonde and looked beautiful but I didn’t get to see her as well as everyone else did. Walking up to Yunus, we all talked for a little while and as he came in to pay his petrol money Keith commented on his new mistress. Tatton’s shift was soon over and since he wanted to learn in his new car the three of us headed up to his house in Keith’s car and parking Keith’s car at Tatton’s house we headed back to Mobil with Tatton’s car. This is the first time I had been in Tatton’s car and I thought it was funny. You had to pull out the choke to get it warmed up and it didn’t like weight. Taking a minute to warm it up we headed to pick up Tatton and tried to give it some but the car didn’t give back.

The car was pretty much embarrassing to be seen driving around in and as we pulled up next to some chicks we looked at them, smiled and then continued on our grueling way. Stopping at Mobil we watched Tatton finish up counting the money then figured what was happening. Simon wanted to take his car along because he didn’t trust Tatton driving but we persuaded him to jump in with Tatton, heck, I didn’t think he was that bad. That was my worst judgment and my worst mistake of the night as Tatton didn’t have a clue what he was doing. To make it worse he had no rear vision mirrors on the sides of his car, it broke off.

Keith started us off on our journey because Tatton wasn’t competent in his driving with other cars around. So we made our way to the new petrol station in Ingleburn where everyone hangs out for runs. On the way there we were egging a Commodore on to give us a run and just laughing. There were two girls in the back seat and I was giving them smiles, they were smiling back, yeah. They drove off the highway and that was it for them, beep beep and it’s off.

While at this Ingleburn Petrol station there was a place there that sold yard burgers or something like that. They had those long pieces of bread that was a yard long and inside they would put different tastes like meatballs, chicken, meat, mayonnaise, whatever. The three of them each bought themselves food and deciding to save my money I didn’t buy a thing. When Keith came back down with his food he told me that he didn’t pay so giving me a dollar I jumped up to buy a round of hot chips. As Tatton and Simon paid it was almost my turn to buy but the guys behind the counter figured that Keith didn’t pay. Trying to get his attention Keith knew the story and was trying not to pay attention. So they asked Tatton if Keith had paid and Tatton thought he did and said yes. The shit was funny because Keith turned around when people in his direction kept telling him to look around, he was being called. Keith then confessed that he hadn’t paid and Tatton got angry because he thought Keith was trying to stiff him for a dollar. Taking the money in my hand I placed my dollar in there and then gave it to a confused Tatton. Being a good boy, Tatton gave me some more money to buy some hot chips and when all the confusion was over we all sat down to eat.

Our conversation started about Phoenix and cheating, things like that. We talked about how Phoenix got fucked by Rory about a week a go doggystyle and he treats her like shit. Rory thinks he’s the man now, fuck em and fuck em. Keith then talked about how he fingered Phoenix, sucked her tits and all that on the night that he got onto her at the hotel. Keith got onto Phoenix three times in his time being with Tamsen, it’s a bit rude but it’s not my life. Needing the toilet pretty bad I started getting runs and it felt like peppers coming out of my ass (Don’t laugh, I’m sure you’ve had that before). When the stink was done after five minutes I headed back out and on the television screen was my attention diverted to. SBS was on and there was some foreign movie on. The funny part came when this guy took out a blow up doll and started getting fresh with it. All kinds of weird shit he was trying to do with it with all his clothes still on and the funniest part was when he squeezed the dolls butt cheeks while the doll was between his leg and it’s legs flung up in the air each time. Everyone in the room caught on and we were all laughing at this SBS show.

When our food was settled and finished we headed out to the car parked between the gas pumps and it was Tatton’s turn to finally drive. Still having some confidence in Tatton’s driving I was thinking to myself “How bad could he be.” That question was answered as soon as Tatton started the car and tried taking off. His take off was fairly smooth but when we came to the exit Tatton stalled the car, on the road, while traffic was coming. Luckily Keith pulled up the handbrake and we were only one lane into the road. Tatton’s car was fucked and wouldn’t start because it wasn’t warmed up yet so Keith had to jump out of the car and push it. We were all thinking the problem was in the timing and Tatton was getting all upset and saying things like “You can walk home if you want” because he now has a car.
