Stuck in Second Gear

by AMG-guy63
One moment, I'm driving down the M8 with my mates. The next, we're in a world full of talking, colourful ponies. Nobody will believe us if we tell them what happened. We might as well make the most out of this for however long it lasts, right?

Yeah, I'm still not quite sure as to how all of this even happened. One moment I'm doing the typical Sunday afternoon drive with my mates and the next, we're... well, not.

Why us?

Three friends, Jack, Thomas and Nathan are group of three best friends who all have relatively good paying jobs, all go round to the pubs at a weekend, and all own sporty saloon cars. They can't decide on which is the best, so they decide to settle it once and for all.

Namely by racing to a restaurant.

During this race, however, the trio get sucked into Equestria, along with their cars. Not really knowing what to do next, they decide to do the only thing that would make sense to them at that point...

Drive.

They didn't expect to find what they found next.

Specifically talking, colourful ponies with varying traits and abilities that could only be described as supernatural, and a city that looked like something out of a Disney movie.

And now, they have to stay in a world so familiar to them, yet so different at the same time, until somepony can find them a way back to their old lives.

The questions remain... Will they fit into life in this new world? Will they be able to return? And most importantly...

Will they stay friends for long enough, as cracks begin to show in their relationship?

This is my first story, told from the first person perspective of Jack.
