You can borrow my car!

I have a friend from high school days staying with me for a week. He told me that a relative had offered to lend him a car while he is here. Last night, after eating out, we went to check out the said vehicle.

Well! Two flat tyres. Certificate of Fitness expired since June 2001. Insurance expired since June last year. Road license expired since June 2002. Nutten nuh current! (Nothing is current!) All documents expired to rass!

Puts key into engine and turns ignition, car can’t start. Damn, he is going for a job interview this afternoon. I don’t think the ‘may reach’ vehicle will do the trick. Think I better lend him mine and later I’ll call a friend that I know who rents cars.

Sometimes, there are certain kinds of ‘help’ that we can do without, but then again, I guess it is the thought that counts!! All the best with the interview my yute. I’m sure you can turn on the charm!

    Whats up Doc!! You nuh realize what happen?…..the relative saw this as an easy way to register, license(remember English class “c” noun..”s” verb )and insure the car without it costing him/her a thing..thats why the offer was made…u right it will be cheaper to rent a car for the week

    It’s more fact than fiction that friends sometimes are better than your own family. I guess thanks for being a friend is applicable in your case doc You could make a link with our Jam/Trini friend RuddD; he has a few contacts where motor vehicle renting is concerned - give him a ring if you wish! That’s if all your other options don’t pan out ok. Just a thought.

    …wishing your friend luck on the interview… with friends like you, he’s already lucky… And I think mADmac might be on the money with the intentions…
