She stood there bright as the sun, On that California coast, He was a Midwestern boy on his own, She looked at him with those soft eyes, So innocent and blue, He knew right then he was too far from home, He was too far from home, She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach, They watched the waves tumble over the sand, They drove for miles and miles, Up those twisting turning roads, Higher and higher and higher they climbed...

      I never put the wrong fuel in. I get the wife to do it. Mate of mine used to drain tanks of Diesel Cars filled with Petrol and then use the recovered petrol in his Fuel injected Petrol MG Maestro. With badges removed plod thought it was a diesel and the clouds of smoke were normal.

  23. Well, Fiona is incandescent with rage...... Not at me you understand but at the blxxdy Automobile Association. We cancelled the auto renewal with the AA because the renewal premium was over the top and guess what? They took the money anyway.
