While I had my scooter...
anyway the really embarrassing bit, I "flew" around a corner past a garage with a nice looking Jag for sale. I was wondering how much it cost when my brain piped up "why not have a look?". I did and it goes without saying there was a car waiting at the zebra crossing immediately after the garage. I avoided panicking but not locking the wheels, sliding into the back of the car and launching myself into a somersault over the boot, executing a fine landing on my back in the gutter. When I went to the car owner's house to settle the repair bill he told me he'd thought he was going mad after he felt the impact and saw nothing behind him. To add to the embarrassment my dad knew the guy in the car behind me who saw the full display, said it was the funniest thing he'd seen in ages.
