But all may not be lost, when Dean sees a flyer for a surf competition.

He seizes on the chance to take Ziggy on a roadtrip and enter the competition, which has a cash prize.

However, when Dean shares his exciting plan with mechanic Ziggy, she claims she's too busy working at the garage to go.

Is their relationship slipping into the friend-zone?
