    memory lane

    missus picked up her disco this afternoon and i got chauffeured around this evening...

    talk about a trip down memory lane...

    runs as sweet as to boot... looks like it will be a nice score for the money...

    after 10 years filling her 990cc daihatsu sirion, she nearly fainted at the pump when she saw it took $105 worth of diesel

    the expression was gold...

    Tell her she can come and fill the 4x450 litre tanks on my jigger; a bit like banging her head on a wall, it'll feel good to fill the Disco.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    She won't need to fill it up again for another 750 km at least. The pump shock will fade until next time.

    The real test is: will she let you drive it?

    I'm lucky. I get to do all the driving. The odd time SWMBO wants to drive I just refuse to get in until she leaves the drivers seat.

    Does not happen very often though, as she is happy for me to do the driving.

    I am happy to let her drive home, if we have been to a party.
