Didn't have the time to fill the car up this morning. I'm now stuck in central London (City part), the closest filling station I know of is in the west end. My range shown on the OBC is 41 miles, I'm leaving in about an hour, nicely in rush hour, which means that 41 mile range is going to drop pretty quickly as I ease through the London traffic.

Ohhhh, my butt's going to be puckered tonight :(

Blimey, you've let that run low. I think yo ushould be ok, you will have to take it easy, Iknow thats boring but I doubt you'll have a choice in that part of London.

Good luck

LOL.....imagine you in Tin's M5 with 41 miles :p :p

Not to worry, we know you can still make it to a station with 0 miles on the clock......tried and tested, with photographic evidence :D

But still I wish you GOOD LUCK

Raaaar :D

Made it home :)

Wasn't too bad in the end. I remembered when we went on the film shoot, Tin led us past Chelsea embankment so hit parliament square, took a left, down the embankment and whoo hooo, Shell :D The smallest bloody petrol station on the planet, well, maybe not, but it only had room for 2 cars at a time, but it was like seeing an oasis in the desert. No drama though, still had 39 miles on the clock. But I filled that sucka up as I have to do the same journey tomorrow. Joy :(

Until you have seen the dotted line after 0 your not living dangerously enough!! :D
