    How's this one then adm333:

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>It's 07:15 and we've only got 30 minutes to make the rendevouz with Vlad for Inc's trip.

    We need at least 1200 litres (of port) for the run down to Kennilworth, to keep Inc and Harry really happy.

    Otherwise we won't make it out of the property alive. Australia can be a harsh continent.

    I flatten the throttle, and the fuel pump kicks is big time (over-time even!)

    I throw Vanessa the UHF and ask her to call up Vlad to meet us at the BP servo.

    Then I settle back with my eyes on the road and my hands upon the wheel - of the luxo-barge.

    It's not long before I can make out the big green sign of the BP and adjust our heading to ensure we take the service road.

    I look across just in time to see Vlad in the Defender - parked across from the fast food eatery.

    I give him a wave.

    The door opens and I recognise his lily white legs and instantly recall something completely irrelevant to the story.

    The Rangie always did like a drink at BP.[/b][/quote]

    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".
