I have a stalker

Regular followers of my ramblings know I recently acquired a Ford Fusion, attracted as I was by it's all round cheapness. The smell of wee and cabbage is bearable, worth it for the bonus of acquiring such a fine example of a low mileage car for £700.

Anyway, to me its a car. Cheap, reliable, occasional transport.

They never sold very well when new as they cost near in as much as a Focus, which seems a strange ploy for what is essentially an over inflated fiesta. This means they never sold well by Ford standards, and while it's hardly rare you don't see them every day either.

Until last week.

I came out the Doctors to see an old boy parking his dark blue Fusion next to my light blue example. As he passed me he said "morning, nice car" and gave me a thumbs up.

Later that morning I was driving through another local village and this chap was coming then other way, grinning inanely and waving like a loon. Then again that afternoon.

And the following day.

And every time I venture out thereafter.

I'm now frightened to go out for fear of bumping into my stalker again. Should I buy another car, or should I just accept the local chapter of the Ford Fusion pensioners have accepted me as one of their own, and I should drape a chequered picnic blanket across the rear seat forthwith?

If you had ever owned a proper, square Land Rover, you'd be completely familiar with this phenomenon. Owners get to know the other owners in their area and become friends who never meet. Even when off their own stamping ground they will greet other drivers although it has to be a laconic lift of one finger off the steering wheel, not an enthusiastic all-out wave. Obviously newer monocoque-built Land Rovers aren't proper Land Rovers so are excluded.

Drago, once you've got the blanket, don't forget one of these...

Get a sticker across the windscreen stating the name of the owner and his woman, replace the sensible seats with 4point harness racing buckets, hang some football related furry dice and get rid of the pine tree. Fit some I.C.E with mega base to share your musical taste in grime/dirtbag/dogshite or whatever the current rap-de-jour stylee.
