Loading ...Pietersen just has to be different

It’s always interesting speaking to the lesser-known people at the cricket. I got chatting to an engaging fellow yesterday who is, on occasion, England’s baggage handler, dealing with their luggage and coffins and the coach and so forth. He’s met all sorts, and spoke rather too gushingly about Glenn McGrath (whose wife sadly died today of cancer) for my taste, but said all the England players were amenable and friendly. He was less impressed with other international teams, though it’d be wrong to say which on this blog.
Behind us, in the car park, were eight black Volkswagen Touareg 4×4s - all owned by the England players. But nestled in between two of these Chelsea tractors was a sleaker model, also in black, a VW Phaeton owned by Kevin Pietersen. These are beasty motors - quick, over-luxurious, with every gadget known to carkind, but designed by a humourless android. The insides and mechanics make BMW and Mercedes’ equivalents seem tacky and rubbish, but the same engine/mechanics were I think used for the new Bentley Continental, which looks like god designed it.
All in all, a horrible, salesman-looking car but a total beast on the inside. Any correlation to Pietersen himself? I’ll let you be the judge.
