Kuro Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 In a reflective mood tonight all So, does anyone else feel that strange sense of pride at the filling station? Y'know, when you pull up, get out and start filling up the Zed at the same time as 6 other cars, only to see them finish off, pay and drive away before you've reached 70 Litres Sodding zero degrees this evening, and there I was freezing on the forecourt, smiling at the insanity of it all I'm hoping for a truck to fill up alongside me one day Quote
nixy Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 get a fuel filler restrictor like mine and you could be there until the garage closes! Quote
Ian Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I find it quite embarrasing. Ive stood there for ages while i fill it up & a few cars come & go before I finish. It always amuses my passengers though Quote
GC350z Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Nope. Never filled it all the way. I find most people wait to watch me drive away. Quote
Zedrush Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I get my girlfriend to do it, whilst I sit in the car admiring people looking at it Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 it doesnt take long to put a fiver in but i like jays idea better Quote
Sarnie Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I hate doing this. Firstly it takes ages to fill (90 litre tank ) plus there is always a chav who comes and peers in the engine bay and asks: 1) How fast does it go? 2) How fast have you gone in it? 3) How much did it cost? 4) What do you do for a job? In that order. Royally f***s me off. Quote
GC350z Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Odd I get that here. Minus the peering in the engine bay and the chav part. Always some middle aged bloke. Guess it's cos the Z is 65k here. Now if I had 263,450 euro I could get a G and probably have people spit as they look at me filling up. Quote

H5 Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I hate doing this. Firstly it takes ages to fill (90 litre tank ) plus there is always a chav who comes and peers in the engine bay and asks: 1) How fast does it go? - "In which gear?" 2) How fast have you gone in it? - "I've never been more than 60mph" 3) How much did it cost? - "I can't remember, but got change from the house sale" 4) What do you do for a job? - "I can't tell you that" (Pull phone from pocket and say 'Russian embassy? - I'm there' In that order. Royally f***s me off. Get clever with your answers.....!! Quote
