It has been a bit of a miserable day down here.

Glad to see peeps still went though.

MissPiggy · 13-08-2005, 21:06

funny thing is-i got a text from becky and tigger on their way back asking for Xaviers mobile number-they had only gone and lost him on the motorway!!! lol

paxton · 13-08-2005, 21:14

yer he went awol! then reappeared 20 miles later at wharp speed! (not over 70 mind occifer)

tigger was overtaken by about 20 granddads.... Im Sure he needs a flat cap and driving gloves! Jonny5ive nearly fell asleep cause of tigger's lack of "enthusiasm"!

**tfboy** · 13-08-2005, 21:20

Ahh, so that's how you got my mobile number.

Deepest apologies, when we stopped for the last time, after you had all left in tyre smoke and clouds of soot, I decided to fill 'er up at the bargain 94.9p which I thought was pretty good considering it was m'way services. I wouldn't have made it home with what was left in the tank.

So you did have a 10-15 minute headstart. I still caught you up though

And would have effing suceeded if not for breaking traction

, still was fun seeing the look on your face

devonutopia · 13-08-2005, 23:01

Sorry I couldn't get up there. My wallet wasn't up to the £50 of fuel to make the mere 100 mile round trip.

This Jag is not the most economical car in the World... especially when surrounded by talk of 50+ mpg.
