Off we went and true to my word, I kept perfectly quiet in the back seat. Mind you, that wasn't exactly easy for me, because I not only had my favorite comedy show playing on the rear DVD player, but thoughts of Simon happily chauffeuring moi around town almost brought me to breaking point. It was all I could do to stop myself from bursting out laughing.
Never mind, I held it in and sat back to enjoy the ride, and what a pleasant one it was. Honestly, I felt like a superstar back there! In fact, every now and then whilst sitting at the lights, I'd raise the electronic rear and side window shades just to make the drivers next to us wonder who was in the back of this luxury limo.
Could it be Mr. Clooney? Was Brad Pitt in town? Of course, occasionally I would lower the shades just as we pulled away leaving them thinking, who was that fine distinguished looking chap? (Ok fair enough, I used a little journalistic license on that last bit!)
Obviously, not too many people recognized me. In fact, if I said one, that would be a bit of an exaggeration.
I didn't care anyway, because I was having the time of my life. I now knew how those important VIP's felt when they rode around town in their chauffeur driven limousines. Of course, I didn't have all the benefits that they enjoy because when I referred to Simon as "James", he just gave me a blank stare as if I'd gone crazy.
Not to worry because in my personal limo, the Lexus LS 600h L Exec I had more toys and pleasure items than most celebrities ever get to enjoy in their Mercs and Bentleys. My ride was fitted with electronic memory rear seats, which not only reclined enough for me to take a short nap, but also breathed hot and cold air through their pores to keep my body at the perfect temperature whilst I slept.
Upon waking, I decided to relax and listen to some music. In fact, using the rear audio controls, I skipped through the channels and even explored the vehicle's inbuilt hard drive system to see what previous passengers had enjoyed. I tell you, I don't know what kind of journalists typically borrow these Lexus press vehicles, but their taste in music is a little suspect, if you know what I mean!.
Bored with that, I decided to go back to my Monty Pythons DVD and perhaps enjoy a gentle massage at the same time. No, we had not picked up a young therapist, this Lexus actually has a massage feature built into the rear seats, and not just one but two types!
Settling on the Shiatsu massage, I lay back and let the world of the underprivileged pass me by. It was then that I got a tad peckish, so out came my cucumber sandwiches (with the crusts cut off, after all, I am British) and a fine bottle of banana flavored milkshake. It would have been champagne, but I wasn't sure how the open liquor laws went, and besides, James, (I mean Simon), might have heard the pop of the cork.
