Default Common as muck.....

Tiny I stopped at the Shell station in Swansea yesterday to fill up on the drive home and guess what came slip-sliding up the in ramp

Yup another Focarse, my god it was UGLY (Unholy Green Like Yours )

Chatted to the bloke for a while and he was saying he gets 34mpg out of it, must have had the same driving instructor as you

I assume he was using the black nozzle to fill up?

None of you have spotted the obvious (still you are men - with the exception of Lin of course!!)

Chris saw the car in Wales, they have lots of hills, called mountains in Wales.

He must drive to the top of a very high hill - in the dry of course, then wait til it rains & slip & slide all the way to the bottom - he wouldn't need any fuel on the way back down - hence his 34mpg!

Simples!
