Got Betty back from the hospital today. She was in getting a minor checkup.

She's all sorted now, driving better than ever.
Got a big thumbs up from 4 fellas in a van on my way back from Merlins place,
dont know whether it was my haircut or the car, but i gave them a big thumbs up back
(and a wink just in case)

Had a great little hoon down the backroads into clondalkin and home,
kinda made me think, isnt this what its all about, eh?
