TBH if you’re so clueless that you don’t know how fantastically dangerous transporting petrol in plastic bags is, then you almost certainly don’t know how much better an idea it is to use a petrol can. Our incredulity that this woman didn’t buy a can makes sense from our point of view, but perhaps not from hers.
When I passed my driving test in the UK there was no written element. We were asked a few questions covering the Highway Code, but I think they were unlikely to stray into operating/maintaining the car, just about driving it. Is it different now ? ISTR that in some countries you do need to know more practical stuff, e.g. how to change a wheel.
We took to storing some petrol in the garage here quite a few years ago, following one shortage or another (I can’t remember which). It doesn’t keep very well, so I always empty the can into the car then drive to the petrol station and refill with fresh as well as topping the car up. I believe the staff are supposed to ensure that petrol is only pumped either into a car or into an approved can. I’ve never been challenged over it, but then my can is an approved can.
He really is a twat, drives around our road with his lights going, dumping the stupid waste gate all the fucking time, parks in disabled spaces etc. How he doesn’t get pulled every time he leaves his driveway is beyond me. Cunt.
If he’s disabled, it’s one of those invisible disabilities. The kind that requires you to buy a £2 “Mask Exempt” lanyard from eBay.
He’s pissed someone off good and proper recently too, I saw his works van the other day, he’s a Virgin (dramatic pause…) engineer, and someone had done all 4 tyres on it.
I must be missing the point but why on earth would one dress up a Mitsubishi Evo as an NYPD vehicle? If it was a Crown Vic I might understand but an Evo just makes no sense.
Fuck knows Paul, there used to be another guy around here with a Shelby Mustang, one of the modern ones, done up like a Sheriffs Dept car. At least that looked the part, but he, also, was a prick.
Is it maybe a Fast & Furious thingy? I’ve not seen any of them (the films), but there’s a load of Barry Boy monstrosities around here with Paul Walker RIP stickers on them.
