Watermelon Helmets

We didn’t formally meet Winston for a while. He was one of those guys who drove around town in a cool but ratty old car. He had a customized license plate that read “NOCHOP”, which of course was in reference to the fact that his little coupe had somehow escaped being ‘chopped’ whilst being a hot rod.

Of course, something that novel couldn’t escape our gearhead minds, and during a bout of intoxication at the first Paso Robles car show we developed the first and only watermelon helmet.

No ill will was intended, I just wanted to point out that Winston was famous in our group long before we actually met him.
