Bongo Fury

Last summer it was almost £1.30 a litre, remember?

£70 wasn't that much then . . . .

Time to look on the bright side

If you had done that (filled and run a diesel-engined car with petrol) on a 'modern' vehicle with their high-fallootin', common rail injector pumps, the cost of the lost pertol would have been the very least of your worries..

Every day, peeps completely wreck their pumps - which require the diesel as a lubricant - by filling up with petrol; costs many, many £100's to repair.

Thanks goodness for the agricultural simplicity of the Bongo diesel engine. And self-priming to boot!

What more do you want?

(Ok, apart from better consumption. And smoother running. And quieter operation. And...)

hope you get sorted cath

next time PLEASE look at the gauge as it tells you how much fuel is in the tank

I know it sounds really weird but I hadn't looked all week - I just had my mind on other things. I never noticed it getting low and obviously you dont get a warning.

So sorry to hear of your plight MC You're not having a good week, at all! I hope all ends up OKl for you.

I am having a challenging week. We have had the car, my friends strange news today with the murder and hanging and I have just heard that another friend has had a stillbirth. I think I should go to bed and start again tomorrow

A good rest will help without a shadow of a doubt.

Sorry to hear about your precious Bongo.

Good luck on things improving

Keep us posted Catherine.

Now as sad as things are for Cat at the moment, I'm not sure if this will create a laugh or a wimper!!!!

Was this intentional AndandDen?

Really...what were you thinking !!!!

northerntaff i think andandden put that to put a smile on caths face and dont think it was intentional

I just thought it was an unfortunate typing error

Dydo only turns into dildo whe she is randy.

before anyone worries - Dydo is affectionately known by some members of the forum as Dildo. It isn't offensive to me or Dydo. It isn't meant to be

If it has upset anyone then I apologise but trust me - it isn't meant that way

It made me laugh, I just don't know you guys well enough to know if it was a little lighthearted thing or if there's something else on AndandDen's mind !!!
