Roumimper World: Meeting Ford Prefect!

Meeting Ford Prefect!

For those of you who know about building Inter Galactic Highways through Hyperspace, drinking Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, putting a Bable-fish in your ear, understand Vogon poetry read by Zaphod Beeblebrox, have experienced the Infinite Improbability Drive, etc., you already know that the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe and Everything is (you're not going to like it): 42. For those of you who don't have a clue what this is all about: Don't Panic. Go away now and start reading the book and find out all about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

Now that we've all read the book, we all know who Ford Prefect is, the guy who chose his name because he thought that automobiles were the dominant lifeform on Earth, and that the name "Ford Prefect" would be inconspicuous.

Finally you will understand our excitement when Vincent and I went to an oldtimer car show in our own familiar Dorpsstraat downtown old Zoetermeer. Because what happened: we met the real "Ford Prefect" in person! I had to restrain Vincent from buying it, because it was even for sale. Imagine him driving that car, they would all point at him and say: You sass that hoopy Vincent? Now there's a frood who really knows where his towel is!
