Special (and instructive) exercise.

I wanted to challenge myself by trying to write a story with one condition (constraint?). The condition was that I should write the story using no other English than the English I know. That means I should not use English from anywhere else than my head. Also my PC word spelling would be not in use.

So here is the story. A few months ago I was driving on the side road of the AP7 Motorway. Traffic was very few and I was driving just slowing down because I was about to leave that road. Suddenly I heard a strong noise. It was like if my car had crashed a truck part, a stone or anything hard enough. After the crash I waited a few seconds for any unusual vibration or noise. Since everyhting was fine I didn't stop and carry on driving.

Just after those seconds a car passed by my side, slowed down and one of the two men in that car opened his window and started strongly gesticulating to me. Helpful people, weren’t they? The man was pointing at below my car and making undoubtful gests meaning my car was having something wrong and serious somewhere in its lower part. And more important, he was also making clear indications which meant I should immediately stop my car at the road’s side.

Have you got any idea what was all about? I was very fortunate. I did know what was all about! A friend of mine had had the same situation a few months before an he told me.

I guess there’s no need for me to tell you what actually was happening. But I’ll tell you what I did right when the fellow was asking me to stop. Do you rmember when Felicity opened her paper notes block and the two images shown?. One was a bird and the other was basically a gest, weren’t they? OK, I did two simultaneous things. I clearly made a gest, image no.2 like to them and I kept driving relaxed an absolutely convinced that my car had no break down at all.

When ‘my friends’ soon realized I had not bitten their bait they make themselves disappear among the other cars on the road. And when I reach the place I was driving to I inspected the back of the body of my car and close to the booth’s lid it was (and still is!) a clear impact produced by a hard object thrown by someone.

I think some time later the police cought a gang which was doing quite professionally rubberies of cars in main Motorways in the Vallès area.

If you wiil the moral might be:: if your car makes a noise when driving get ready to be scared either by your garage invoice or by thieves willing to sell the car somewhere out of the EU.
