I guess I used to, when I was as young as my avatar looks, but not any more!<BR/><BR/>I normally describe cars by size and colour <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/profile/00480825797997399121" REL="nofollow">Trevor</A>, so I can say with confidence that it's a small metallic blue type of car :-). However on this occasion I also know that it's some kind of two door Nissan, if that's of any interest. I also think that the Moroccan guy was far more interested in money than gay sex, because as far as I could tell from the chats we had, he really was a very red-blooded hetero.<BR/><BR/>You're right of course 'anonymous', whoever you are, but if I'd got the car hire company involved it would probably have been more tiresome because their nearest office was km30 away. At one point the Moroccan guy was going to drive me over to their office to get another car, which probably wouldn't have been a convertible, and then would I have had any responsibility to get the broken car back to them once fixed? Anyway, the way I was able to do it, it only really cost me a couple of hours out of the holiday.<BR/><BR/>GB xxxGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07046768019709916759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-63891919155007722532007-09-01T05:22:00.000+01:002007-09-01T05:22:00.000+01:00Pardon my ignorance.
