Muzza’s sporting the right car
Here at Hoot, we love our sport (well some of us do) and there’s a feast of it going on at the moment. Golf, tennis, athletics, motor racing – there’s something for everyone (unless it’s football only for you). Still, for all those die-hard footy fans it’s only a few months till the start of the brand new season – and yes we’re polishing up our Fantasy Football League teams as we speak.
In fact, a little bird tells me that Europa League qualifying matches kick-off at the end of June – so there’s no chance of becoming completely starved of the beautiful game.And meanwhile, there’s Wimbledon (thank goodness for the roof on centre court) to entertain us for two glorious weeks.
Apparently, the Great British tennis hope and young driver, Andy Murray, has recently got rid of his red Ferrari in favour of a slightly more conservative “gun-metal” Aston Martin because he said he felt like a “prat” when driving the Italian performance icon.
We feel he may have a point – Italian flash over British class – we know who wins every time.
We just hope Murray can be as prestigious as his choice of cars.
And guess what? He says he still drives his faithful little Volkswagen Polo, his first ever car, because it’s easier for city motoring.
A summer of sport and motoring – it’s Hoot heaven.
So, as we shout, “Come on Muzza” at our TV screens and watch forlornly as Vettel marches relentlessly on in the F1 season, there’s still some hope that our 2012 Olympic hopefuls will give us more to cheer about next summer. And yes, some of us were lucky enough to get tickets, but that’s a whole other blog.
