Nobbled by the fuel guage!

[PeterGreen]

We've all done it, trying to squeeze those last few more miles out of the reserve tank before you fill up again... I was just approaching the Thrapston junction on the A14 when without any warning she just died. No coughing or spluttering for a couple of miles, just dead.

Isn't there a fuel guage fitted? Well yes there is. It reads 11 litres before asking to be refilled. I'm thinking no probs I've got 10 litres left then. Not at all...



And whilst I'm at it... Spotted, red Chimeara driving past me whilst I stood at the side of the road. Those TVR boys really are grumpy!

Oh dear...

Um, take it you are OK now though?

Least you won't make the same mistake again! Put it down to learning the limits of your car!

[PeterGreen]

Yeah, luckily my boss lives in Thrapston, so he rescued me with a can of juice - I would have felt a right plum if I'd had to call the AA out!

Peter u goon!
i work in thrapston should have given me a ring. i could have fetched some fuel for you..
next time dude drop me a line...

hopefully there wont be one... hee hee

what were you saying wednesday about fuel economy

[Jspesh]

That must have been annoying cos there's no petrol stations up that end of the A14!

Unlucky. My Mk2 Golf had no fuel light and I managed to run out but I was right near a petrol station (Shell station in Wellingborough, stopped just after the railway bridge)

Poor chap! Ditto Dave, I too am there Thurdsday & Friday, David insists on me picking him as early as it is in your photo!!

Its Friday now, and right now I have the sun on my back, typing this out on a screen I cant quite see - its sunny and warm, and next to me is a cool bottle (or two) of Stella.

Just dropped Dave off, who I think is going to try the smae, but with his fruit beer!

ITS THE WEEKEND!!!!! YAY

Gotta be well for tomorrow's drive to PistonFest though...
