Ja-nee Frikkie - Wil Jy Dice?

The Gauteng East Rand is Ford country, it say that on the billboards outside the Ford Dealership in Benoni. Like every laaitjie from my generation the 3-2-1 is a real thing; 3L V6, 2L Coke en 1L Brannes maar without the ice. My first car was a 3L Cortina, safari khaki. Vin Petrol and Windpomp Diesel, they mos brothers in those Fast & Furious documentary flicks, those guys taught a lot of okes in the East Rand how to live their lives a quarter petrol tank at a time because petrol is blerry expensive thanks to those crazy chinas moering each other in I-ran like a Boksburg block party. I ran once in a higher school cross country marathon, blerry far too, when I reached the finish I had to catch the taxi back to school. Everyone know what the sound of a double engine rev at a traffic robot mean. It be you asking the question of the oke stopped along side you at the robot, if they hadn't figured out the loud noises come from the moerse big exhaust pipes burning black stains on your bumper is not from the holes Oom Neels would drill into the exhaust box of his 1976 Ford Escort to make it sound kiff or that your constant revving is to keep the idle up because the engine timing belt kak af. You're politely asking the question, wil just dice?
There's more to drag racing than LGB fashion. The light turn green and you klap it, full throttle with a GT stripe wheel spin all the way to the next traffic robot. Ouma driving the transport bussie van rus n bietjie retirement village didn't stand a chance. Maar these days you can't find a working traffic robot sonder a traffic unlucky; I learning one thing from traffic unlucky is Kom Haal Towing drivers won't dice you with a car hooked to the back because it scare the out bonus peoples from paying their exes back. I don't understand the romance stuff. Anyways where is the lekker streets sonder potholes and working traffic robots?
In the blerry Fast and Furious flicks. But I give sweeties where sweeties are rewarded. Die aunty in her fancy FongKong 4x4 was jol when she tried to dice me, through a parking lot in Springs, on the opposite side of the road, while I was trying to reverse out of the parking space. Look man the sun was brighting my eyes and the donnerse car guard was misdirecting, it was close but I won. Now there are some people who don't understand how this traffic robot story work. These people are not watched the Fast&Furious flicks to be following or liking or sharing or subscribe so they don't take part proper. There are rules, I think, and these rules are something like don't try dice in a parking lot when overtaking on the left side of the cars when entering a skool crossing over the church zebra lines painted on the road. Mense I'm asking please if you not going to follow the blerry rules then don't try to dice. Traffic unluckys happen and some mense don't walk away from the car wrapped under side down on the street light pole. The wooden crosses and flower arrangements on the side of the main road mark where someone lived their live a quarter petrol tank at a time and died chasing the next traffic robot in ten second or less. Remember that next time you want to be blerry stupid. Ja-nee, true story.
