The magic self fueling car

[Welly]

Yup, we're up in the £80 a tank region again at the moment

Why oh why don't the stupid card payment pumps up the limit? Max spen £70, I can't even fill up!!! Idiots!

My local Tesco's let's you go up to £99.00, trouble is it stopped on me at £62.50 so I had to put the other £36.50 in some guys' P reg mondeo behind me

My wife doesn't hold a drivers' license, but apparently is a much better driver than I will ever be ... I mean, given the amount of advice and instruction I get from her ...

Oh lordy, I get that too, although sometimes I get my own back by asking her about the cat/dog/small child/alien she forgot to warn me about. Or there's a set of lights near her sisters, where we have to turn left (think right) across the lights. About 30 seconds after the lights turn red there's a green light all on its own on the other side of the junction to feed cars left, she always forgets it and panics because she thinks I'm pulling into the cars coming the other way against the red (yes, Croatian traffic lights, keep it cheap by only putting the lights this side of the junction, so if you're at the front of the queue you can't see the feckers )

Plus I get sharp intakes of breath, you know the sort of thing - coming up to a confusing junction, cars everywhere going too fast, not sure who's meant to be doing what, start moving, keep looking all around... PHHHH!! Whowhatwherehowwhyis.. "Why did you do that dear?" "Do what?"

This just appeared in the old email, looks like HM government is ripping UK drivers off even more than usual.

Yes I wondered what would happen about that, conveniently forgotten by the little "Darling"
I've signed the petition but no confirmation email yet...

You'll all love this, my wife washed the car inside and out today!
(Gave me a chance to do some work on the bike that was long overdue )

I'm fairly lucky that my other half doesn't have a driving licence. That said, I wouldn't trust her to drive it anyway.

Asda limit's my debit card to £20 :s Whats more annoying is even though it says MAX £20, it still takes the extra 14p I manage to go over before the pump cuts off.

I'm dreading the day my other half drives as she's really bad for road rage. I'll patiently watch as some bellend drives like a twat, yet she'll give the hand gestures etc.

My mum on the other half... You know when she's worried. You see her going for the dual controls that clearly don't exist.

My wife drives 25 motorway miles each way to work and back every weekday in our 407, she pays for her own diesel.
She drove 70,000 miles in the 406.
She also knows when there is a problem with the cars (her dad was a VW mechanic and her brother was an Army engineer working on Land Rovers and trucks), in fact, she was the one that signed up on here to find out what was wrong with the heater fan in the 406 I was taking too long to get round to fixing it

Yeah I signed too, but I'm not holding my breath!

Talk about spooky, Morissons dropped the price by 2p yesterday!
109.9 for Unleaded & Diesel.
