Hire car arrived at 8am. Its a cute little Corsa Lite, very basic, but nice & small. I signed for the car and dashed off to the gym. They gym is undergoing refurbishment & has a daily rate of R40 which is not so bad. I did an hour & was sweating like a little piggy by the end of it. When finished, I went out to the car & b***** me!!!... could I put the bloody thing into reverse. Each time I tried, the car just kept going forwards towards these large concrete barriers. I thought I was going to have to call my Dad to come and help me. But in desperation I went back into the gym and asked for the manager - his name is Russel and he is the brother-in-law of a friend. Never met him before, but I felt desperate. He was not available. So I asked the girl to all someone else, but to make sure they had a drivers licence (my thinking cap was back on!). This lovely young chap came out to see how he could assist and seemed somewhat surprised when asked if he had a driver licence & I then proceeded to lead him into the car park. How embarrassing!! Well... its was unlikely I would meet him again right? I'd like to think I at least provided a little story for him whilst chatting to his mates in the pub over a beer.
