‘Auto Erotic’

A car drove into the courtyard, its headlamps the only source of light, the surprised audience behind glass could hear the cramps over the car stereo. A girl in a short dress tottered out of the car and began to dance silhouetted against the light whilst someone looked on from inside the car. Occasionally the voyeur would rev the engine, possibly to provoke, or threaten or encourage her to show more flesh. Boys watching began to shout take your clothes off as the girls movements became more provocative. At this point the voyeur came out of the car and began to dance with the girl. Immediately the atmosphere shifted to be one of humour as Dick did dad dancing around the car. Dick and Dulcibelle climbed back into the car and reversed out of the yard into the night.
