The look on the cashiers face when they both pulled into the petrol station in Cirencester during the JOGLE was priceless

You could almost hear him think

"Don't see many of them these days..........Don't see many of them these days........." :lol: :shock: :lol:

Be interesting to know just how many miles you've clocked up now in Fred

Are you sure it wasn't a look of horror - he'd only ordered enough fuel to last a week - two FF's would empty the petrol station tanks dry! :lol:

Right Guys, now that I have access to the PC after a couple of days away, I will answer the questions, but first, thanks to Zac for putting up the pictures. :D

Soggy, Since I got the car last September, I have done a total of 6426 miles. Don't know average fuel consumption, but lets just say "a lot". :wink:

Zac, I was trying to hide all the Regalia takings from the rest of the Jensen owners who were contemplating heading off to the petrol station :lol:

Wallace, I only have slipon feet :shock:

Soggy, Helen knows about the fuel bills, 'cos when driving on the continent, the petrol station cashiers booth is normally on the left side of the car, SO SHE PAYS THE BILL :D :D :D

Any more questions :?: If so, please send on the back of a new xxx£20 note

David
