Are you going to put Shell or BP petrol in it? Discuss! :poke:

No, I don't think you have - they're just disappointed the thread is coming to an end! :)

So they're looking for an excuse to keep it going!

I use Tesco Momentum BTW. :D

And I bet you can't wait to collect it - that will be an epic drive home! :thumbsup:

Tesco Momentum? Amateur!

For driving back to Engerluuuund I'd be filling it with Shell V-Power and taking it easy by keeping it down to about 110 at the most. No idea whether the engine is going to die on the M74 or not!

Although Tesco Momentum is a cheaper option and it is only a Coo Pee.

Well I had to pay more to get an exclusive Coupe rather then the cheapo Roadster option, so can't afford V-Power as well!

Actually that isn't quite true - my nearest filling station just happens to be a Tesco one. :)

That's fair enough with the fuel.

We all know (but nobody mentions it) that Coo Pee Drivers have no soul and sunlight burns them hence the tintop. Have I said too much and let the secret out?!

No, Coupe drivers are cool all year. :P

Whereas Roadster drivers get their brains fried - if the sun ever shines! :)

Whilst I admit that my preceding post was rather sarcastic, I am most certainly not annoyed. Every now and again a thread captures the imagination of the Forum - this is one of them! :)

I was just trying to keep the thread ticking over until we hear from you on Tuesday. Good luck :thumbsup:
