Hollywood beckons?

Ok, it was a lovely sunny Thursday two weeks ago and I was driving home from work in the Morris. On the slip road to join the busy A38 dual carriageway, I noticed a white Audi four-by- four in the inside lane. Being a considerate driver, and realising the Audi would have considerably more power than me, I waited for him to move into the fast lane to allow me to join the road. To my surprise, after a few seconds delay he flashed his lights to let me in, and moderated his speed to suit my more sedate leisurely pace.
After a mile or so, he started to pass me but very slowly as if the car could barely muster the grunt to get by - then it dawned on me; the wife in the passenger seat was filming me! Or rather the Morris. We parted with a friendly wave.
I'm sure most members are used to having people show an interest in their cars and indeed having photographs taken, but this is the first time I've had the Hollywood treatment!
