Ran out of gas

No it was not on a green lane (Tony be cursed) but on an on ramp to the Coventry Ring Road. Can any one think of a hairier environment for that to happen?



The middle of the Sahara springs (uncomfortably) to mind :-)

Either that or the junction of the M1 and M25 - oh, I've just done this one elsewhere :-)

Just being at that junction is bad enough.

How about just as you are about to enter the parade ring at Billing?

Ooh, that was below the belt, he's not in the best frame of mind as it is... :)

OK, let's get them all out of the way now shall we?

  • M1 - M25 junction at rush hour
  • Going into the ring at Billing
  • Actually _in_ the ring at Billing
  • On the bridge coming into Billing from the ORC
  • Just about to enter Heritage Centre on Marque Run

Happy?

I've previously tried to plead insanity and have had a few very serious Basil Fawlty moments - one nearly involving a chainsaw. In all honesty, this is why I don't think I could live without the 4.5 tonne of purple reality check :-)

Still, not every weekend is as bad as that is it? :-)

Have you put your filler hose on yet?

Martyn

Smart move!

I have Warren booked for some major surgery on Bungle next week - which includes putting the new fuel tank on with the new filler hose.

Also on the list: moving the LPG tank from the loadbed to under the nearside as on Grumble and getting the s*dding thing through the MOT.
