    Oooops at the petrol station this evening

    evening all,

    on the way back stopped at the petrol station to fill up

    the car in front of me, a subaru estate filled up and went to pay and came back and then
    drove off.....

    with the pump nozzle still in the subaru's filler

    there was a terrible crashing sound and the gentleman driving said subaru stopped to have a look

    needless to say there were sneers all round for the rest of us still filling our cars

    I've never seen such an error before

    was bloody funny though

    Milan.

      So was this - hilarious to see the Ferrari pit team doing a 400 metres dash down the pit straight to retrieve the hose

        A couple of years ago I drove out of a service station having left my petrol cap on the boot, and had to return the next day.

        On enquiring sheepishly if they had found a Jag petrol cap, I expected or hoped the assistant would say "Ah, yes, here it is. We wondered when you'd be back", and triumphantly produce the cap.

        But instead the guy reached under the till with a weary sigh, and hauled out a huge box full of two or three hundred petrol caps. "Here, guv, see if it's among this lot".

          He was too busy laughing at your Passat in the rear view mirror probably.

            What do you drive, a well used up 2nd hand shell?

              I'll have to ask the Chauffeur.
