'I'VE HIT A BLUE PORSCHE!'

Mark Webber remembers an unusual driving experience:

A few years ago I had an accident I will never forget. It was the beginning of my holiday. I needed to go to town to buy some clothes for my trip to France. I always take the bus to work because of the traffic but I wasn't in a hurry so I decided to drive.

I phoned an old friend, Susan, and asked her to meet me in a cafe in a shopping centre at 10 o'clock. I left home at nine o'clock so I thought I had enough time. At ten o'clock, I was sitting in a traffic jam a few minutes from the shopping centre. Nobody was moving.

I phoned Susan but she didn't answer her mobile phone. I decided to park the car and walk the rest of the way.

I found a parking space between a red Mazda and a blue Porsche. I wasn't sure that I could put the car into it but I tried. Unfortunately I hit the blue car. Too late, I realised the space wasn't big enough. I phoned Susan again. This time she answered.

'Where are you?' Susan asked.

'Delancy Street. I've hit a blue Porsche. Do you think I should leave a message?'

'It depends,' she replied. 'What's the number plate of the car?'

I told her the number and she said, 'No, it isn't necessary to leave a message.'

'Why not?' I asked.

'Because, you idiot,' she replied, 'it's my car!'
