When driving back to Nelson Mandela House, Rodney discovers that the Cortina is a "death trap" due to many faults, particularly brake failure. The next day, Del sells the Cortina to an Australian man for £199, which Rodney is uncomfortable with due to the car's unsafe condition. That night, Rodney decides to go out on the town and forget about Monica. He asks Del to go with him, but Del says he will only go with him if he has no one else to go with. Rodney instantly dismisses this by claiming that he has several friends who are ravers, although Del is not convinced. After some intense persuasion, Del agrees to join Rodney, taking Boycie's Jaguar.
