Another good one Dak! Well written...

Was # 4 Blue by any chance?? Did it fly?

[dakfinv]

Did it fly?
Fortunately for Manchester, no. :)

Thank you!

awww, I really love each and every one of these. Who knew cars could say so much about a guy?

the "Like father, like son." almost broke me, as did #4

and with #5 as soon as I read the words Aston Martin I instantly thought "the cheeky bastard's nicked Sam's car" and I LOVE the fact Gene prefers it to even the Cortina and I agree Sam would definitely freak out to find it missing.

[dakfinv]

Thank you! I'm glad you think the Aston Martin would be a Sam car. I wasn't sure if it would work or not.

5. Omg. Hahahahhaa!!!!

4. *stunned*

3. absolutely tragic.

2. car + love=Love

1. He didn't get hit--awesome!

Gene's life through his cars--I bet he'd tell it the same way. This was lovely, as usual. :)

[dakfinv]

Thank you so much!

(Gene would probably add a more dramatic flair to his stories. Probably mention a few cardboard boxes and women with prams.)

[dragonlit]

Brilliant stuff. You really did a great job of showing Gene's character and background through the cars. The last one was a good chuckle. Very nice!

[dakfinv]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it. :)

Oh, excellent stuff, Dak. Thank you *beams*

He risked two trips around the block, then tried to park it exactly as his father had - at an angle, halfway on the pavement.
It's little touches like this that make the story so real. I can just see the Old Man leaving the car there, thinking he's parked it straight.

I thought no.3 was sad and then you hit me between the eyes with no.4. :( Fantastic writing.

No.5 - oh, Genie, you really do have a deathwish. Doesn't he realise that Sam will withold all sexual favours for a fortnight be more than a little narked? He's a right git, isn't he? Bless him *pets dvds fondly*

Thank you for writing these. I hope you had fun with the research ♥

[dakfinv]

I'm so glad you liked it!

Genie, you really do have a deathwish
I'm sure he'll think of a way to make it up to Sam. ;)

The research was fun. It would have been easier if I had Jeremy Clarkson's help.

Thank you!!
