Chapter 8 - Baby Civic
Three years ago…
Dave and his close friend Frank were in the Suzuka pit lane, preparing for the upcoming race.
“Hey Dave, look at these cars.”
”I know Frank. I’m a bit scared to tell you the truth.”
”What do you mean scared? Your Vitz is fast!”
”Fast on the street but I’ve not go chance against a brand new Civic Type R!”
“What Civic Type R?”
”The blue one, with the tall guy and shorter girl near it.”
”Oh.”
”Look at those two, they look like a couple.”
“I wonder who’s driving in the race.”
”Probably the guy. Pretty girls don’t race, it’s fact.”
“I wonder what they’re talking about.”
”She’s probably going on about clothes and he’s pretending to listen.”
”Probably.”
An announcement came on, telling all drivers to get onto the grid.
“Looks like it’s starting, mind if I ride shotgun with you Dave?”
”Sure go for it.”
”Cool.”
”Hey wait a sec, why is the girl getting into the driver’s seat of that Civic?”
”You serious? Wow.”
”The guy is riding with her. That’s a bit backwards isn’t it? Maybe I can beat the Civic!”
”Haha women drivers eh?”
“Yeah! Anyway lets go!”
Starting Grid
1. Silver Peugeot 406 Coupe
2. Black Toyota Celica ST202
3. White Toyota Celica ZZT231
4. You Know Who’s Blue Honda Civic Type R
5. Dave’s Red Toyota Vitz
6. White Honda Civic Type R EP3
7. Champagne Nissan Primera
8. Red Corolla Levin BZ-R
“This 406 Coupe will win with it’s European performance!”
“This generation of Celica is superior to any other, I wont have trouble dealing with that new one beside me.”
”It’s going to be a battle of the Celica’s!”
“Reckon I can win?”
”Easily. Just don’t overdo it, we haven’t even broken in the engine yet.”
“Alright!”
“Lets do it Dave!”
”I’ll take them in the corners!”
“So that’s the new Japanese-spec Type R eh? Looks more practical than the ones we get back in the UK…”
“I hope dad doesn’t mind me borrowing the Primera….”
”My modified Levin should breeze this.”
The lights went green and Dave floored it, spinning the Vitz’s skinny tyres.
“Damn it they’re all overtaking me!”
”Wow dude, just wow.”
“I’m last!”
”You’re being beaten by a chick.”
”Shut up!”
“I told you I’d make it up in the corners!”
“Where the hell are you going?!”
“Yeah!”
”Holy crap!”
“Gotta pass this Celica!”
“Move!”
”Careful dude the white one is still beside us!”
“Damn she’s winning!”
”You’re nuts man! Slow down before you crash!”
“I can keep up with a Type R!”
“Pass him Dave!”
”I’m trying!”
“How fast is that Civic man?”
”They’re toying with me! Argh!”
“Late braking technique!”
”Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
“Ohhh crap…”
”I’m gonna die… I’m gonna die…”
“All right!”
“There’s a Vitz behind you.”
”Seriously? I think he’s eager to win.”
”Toy with him a bit.”
“I wont let a chick beat me!”
“Just a dab of throttle…”
“I wont lose!”
“This is fun!”
”Don’t push too hard, it’s still a new engine.”
“I’m going to pass!”
“Damn it!”
“Damn you!”
”What the crap?! On the last lap as well!”
“This is hilarious!”
“I’ll get you under cornering again!”
“See!”
”You’ve still got that girl to catch.”
“I’m going to beat you too! Don’t worry!”
“Persistent isn’t he?”
”Reminds me of you.”
”Me? Why me?”
”Because you’re a persistent girl!”
“How rude!”
”It was a compliment!”
“I’ve got the inside!”
”Pass her!”
“Stop it you freaking annoying girl!”
“Woah dude, chill.”
“Argh! There’s no hope now!”
“She won…”
“You did your best dude.”
Present day…
Yuka was sitting at home, watching TV with Kei. Yuka’s phone rang, it was Cooper.
“Hey Cooper.”
”Yuka, I need to ask you something.”
”What’s up?”
”Do you have any intention to confront Ed?”
”About?”
”The theft.”
”You know it was him?”
”Word spreads fast.”
”Oh. Well I guess I want to. Why?”
”Everyone at the used lot wants to crack his skull open.”
“Really? Why? I don’t want to beat him up, I just want to talk some sense into him.”
”Are you sure Yuka? Just a few days ago you was ready to bust some balls.”
”I realised I’d be happier if I just let it go. There’s no point getting revenge like that. I’m just going to call the cops after talking to him.”
“If you’re sure, then okay. Everyone’s pissed at him anyway. The dishonest prick.”
”Where is he anyway?”
”At home. He took a few days off after I bopped him on the nose.”
”What did you do that for?!”
”I was just defending myself! He lashed out at me.”
”What did you say to him beforehand?”
“Nothing offensive. Just that he’s got nowhere to run if I call the police.”
”Cooper!”
”What?”
”Nevermind. I want to talk to Ed.”
“I can get him to come into work tomorrow if you want.”
”That’ll be good. Thanks Cooper.”
”You’re welcome Yuka. Anyway, how’s the Civic?”
”TJ is fixing it. He says it’ll be as good as new.”
”That’s great!”
”I’m also sending it away for a full tune up. It’s going to be twice as fast as it used to be, maybe more.”
“Sheesh! As if it wasn’t fast enough already Yuka! Plus you have that R33!”
”The R33 is going after the Civic is repaired, so yeah.”
”Oh. Well that’s a shame. Anyway Yuka I’ll see you tomorrow I guess.”
”Yeah, see you tomorrow.”
”Bye Yuka.”
