It needs a title.
I realize Alternators/Binaltech (mostly the latter) has its own continuity, what with the Japanese toys (B) each coming with a new part of the story. It wasn't brought over with the Alts and some of the toys look slightly different and... yeah, okay, I'm just ignoring it. For the purpose of this madness, Alts = G1 because I say so. So Mirage is G1 Mirage. And even if not, this is Transformers. Canon's pretty flexible, considering how often it ignores itself.
Things to find out:
-- When did Clarkson obtain his GT? Pre or post August, 2005? (Yes, this is important!) How long did he own it before selling it back the first time? How long was it before he bought it back? And, of course, how long did he hang onto it the second time before selling it again? What adventures did the GT go on?
These questions will have to wait, as I do not have time to look today.
Random things:
Hammond has a Porsche - a 911, as opposed to Jazz's 935 Turbo. No one said Mirage had to specify. Mostly I find amusement in the mental images of Clarkson becoming increasingly twitchy about the whole situation and, after finding out Mirage may or may not be supposed to be meeting with Jazz-the-Porsche, eventually trying to coax a conversation out of an actual car. And then getting caught in the act. (Why are you talking to my car?)
Car's alarm would go off and tell him it had been stolen - while he was driving it. This was, of course, actually Mirage trying to announce his location to anyone who might be looking for him.
Let's face it; our fuel's not near as good for Cybertronians as their energon is. No wonder it got terrible mileage. (Really, the car really being from Cybertron could be used to explain why everything else went wrong, too.)
Story, Such As It Currently Is:
Mirage is, for whatever reason, rebuilt from his old blue and white F-1 Ligier JS-11 form into a blue and white Ford GT. If this ends up set prior to August 05 (and, of course, it probably will, because since when were things ever easy?), I'll have to make something up. BIG BATTLE. EVIL DECEPTICONS. I have no idea. Post August'd be really easy. Hello, Mirage. We're pretending you were present for the massacre at Autobot City. (Just because they didn't show you there... Actually, apparently there was a cut scene with you getting blasted by Megatron. Whatever. I don't have to count cut scenes if I don't want to!Red Alert is alive so shut up. So is everyone who was actually shown dying. SHUT UP! THEY STOPPED BEING DEAD AND NOTHING YOU SAY WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!)
Anyway. Rebuilt. He's to be shipped off to investigate/monitor Decepticon activity overseas. Which 'Cons? Er, Combaticons, maybe. No one who dies, and those guys don't even appear. Fair game? Though the Stunticons have been over to Europe before. It doesn't really matter.
Again, for the purpose of this madness, we're pretending the Autobots at least occasionally employ some degree of stealth. Mirage is being stealthy. He's "sold" to a contact overseas to justify his presence. I'd need to come up with a generic human name for whoever he's supposed to meet up with (his "buyer").
Of course, there's a mistake somewhere along the line and the normal car is sent off to be an Autobot spy and poor Mirage finds himself the property of one Jeremy Clarkson. He's not worried initially, just assumes he's being brought to the rendezvous point in a way that would look normal (see, just a car! People totally drive me!). He soon realizes, of course, that this is not the case and starts trying to contact his allies while maintaining a low profile (which is to say, keep everyone convinced that's he's totally just a normal car).
This may have worked, except the 'Cons intercept his messages and find him first. Whoops. They attack, of course, and rather than be blown up or some such thing, Mirage takes his own wheel back and outmaneuvers them. He then, of course, has to explain himself. Clarkson is ... not amused, for one. Mirage, being from the higher society class (er, on Cyberton, anyway), probably is not going to like Clarkson much (nor will he appreciate being owned). At all. Misadventures ensue.
Mirage ends up having to go off solo for a while, so they have to make up a story to explain his disappearance to the rest of the world. Then he comes back, obviously.
In the end, Mirage is relocated and recalled by the Autobots. He promises Clarkson he'll be refunded or something. He suspects Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, at least, will be amused that he's going to be "replaced" by a Lamborghini.
It kind of amazes me that I came up with all this while scrubbing, sweeping and mopping in the bakery. And that I was able to find all of the notes I wrote down on the backs of lists of breads to bake.
NOW I JUST HAVE TO WRITE IT.
The problem here is that I'm probably going to start spending all of my time looking for info for this rather than my extremely boring school essays that I have absolutely no desire to be doing. Bother.

Ahahaha, wacky misunderstandings! I can't stop laughing!

Omega Supreme impersonation terminating.You're reminding me of my desire to write overblown angsty Clarkson/Ford GT fanfiction, damn you.
YOU HAVE ONLY YOURSELF TO BLAME AND I'M NOT SORRY. Which is to say, you should go ahead and write it. There is always room for more crackfic! Always.

BUT JUST BECAUSE IT'S COMPARATIVELY LESS CRACKY DOESN'T MEAN oh, never mind, I'm probably going to end up writing it anyway, aren't I?
It's like Romeo and Juliet, he thinks, but with more genuine affection and, hopefully, less death, although with the GT's reliability he can't be sure about that. Also, Juliet is a car.
