And the second of my new toys arrives (pics tomorrow)

The silver Vauxhall Calibra 2 litre 8 valve automatic I have bought arrived this evening. I took it for a little drive, while listening to radio 4 (appropriately enough). It's fun and relaxing to drive - shame it doesn't drive itself! Performance is quite nice thank you.

Was thinking about filling up as it came with a bit under a quarter of a tank. Driving into the first petrol station it turns out they had run out of normal unleaded. So had the second one. Hmm. Only I would go for a purposeless drive (very out of character for me) in the middle of a national fuel protest and the resultant panic buying.

The garage opposite my flat is also dry and has been since yesterday.

Even central London isn't immune.

You should fill it up with super anyway, it'll thank you for it ;0)

Panic buyers are all bloody idiots. Half of them at the Shell station on PE Way on Monday were only putting between £2 and £10 in their cars. I got irritated with the wait and filled my tank right up just in case all the wankers used up all the fuel. How right I was...
