What's this?

Tick-tock, tick tock. I hear a clock but I don't see one.

I don't know where I am, and that's not particularly common. But it does seem very...I don't think familiar is the right term. Although it feels that, too. Interesting.

This isn't New York.

Hello. I'm lost.

Loving cars isn't a byword for appreciating the right ones. Look at the sales on the Boxter.

Here? Never got round to trying.

I prefer the Spyder. But for the sake of precision - I love well-tuned, fast, intricate, stylish cars. I also like well-tailored clothes and intricate machinery.

We've got a few things in common.

You want to drive my car.

They're in short supply.

[There's a pause here]

Perhaps an arrangement can be made.

Really?

I would have to meet you, first. And look at the shape the car is in.

You can meet me any time you like. I'm meant to be going by to give Rosella a lesson, Thursday.

A lesson on what?

That sounds ideal. I don't have many plans, after all.

Driving.

Glad I got in before the schedule filled up.

How generous. Is she any good?

It'll be her first lesson. Probably not.

Is there another car in the Warehouse I don't know about?

A Jag. She's well equipped.

You're teaching her on a Jaguar?

I certainly hope she purchased an automatic, then. Fixing the gears on a machine like that because a learner couldn't get it right would be a waste.

Remember what I said about short supply? Not much in the way of options, or I'd be starting her off in a ute.

Why the necessity to teach her, then?

I learned to drive in my brother's old Jeep.

She wants to learn.

That's the Australian way. I learned in some prissy little red thing. Took hell from my mates.

Is it? That must be why he decided to teach me in it, then.

I'd assume it was because that's what he had to hand.

Or because he was Australian.

We had our father's Volvo, as well.

You're-- where from?

Namibia.

Unless that's an obscure part of the Northern Territory, I reckon one of us just got mixed up.
