Ruined day

My day is ruined and its only 8.40! Driving down our track this morning when I came head to head with the naked farmer (in his car, black mondeo). We kind of looked at each other and he just kept coming. Now, if I'd been a smoker, at this point I'd have rolled a fag and sat it out but as you know, I'm not, so I furiously slammed in reverse only to realise I had the roof up on my cabrio and its had a new roof fitted but Rich hasn't cut out the window hole, so its like driving a van. Now, I suffer from lack of spacial awareness at the best of times but being angry and now being watched made it ten times worse! It wasn't long before I was skimming boulders, trying to find first gear (car has a problem going into first, unless you are in second, then its a bit easier) to correct myself, failing to find first, doing a bit of gear grinding, gettting very flustered. Not very good for my high blood pressure, first thing in the morning. I eventually managed to wedge myself up against a cactus so he could pass and then give a false little smile and wave whilst really wanting to smash his face in! Think its time to get my Landrover back on the road, nobody will argue with that and its automatic so no gear problems.
