Another contender for the too stupid to own a bay title

Some of you may remember that 2 days after getting Arthur, we had to be towed home from the petrol station after trying to open the petrol cap with the (only) igntion key and snapping said key in half.

Well last night we camped in Cheshire as we had an early start for an off-roading morning at the Landrover centre at Peckforton Castle (bloody brilliant fun!) - then pootled into Chester for lunch etc. Started off the 60 or so miles home and stopped for petrol as we're on red...then realised that the set of keys I'd picked up didn't have the petrol cap key on it...

 

Get a grip

 

lol

 

Doh!

 

oooooohhhhhhh not good lol, how did you get back? big yellow taxi?

 

Nah, Dave the local locksmith came and whipped the petrol cap off for us. God love him.

 

whoops!

 

silly, might be worth leaving ur petrol cap key in ur van O0

 

Woops

 

We have a full set of camper keys, and then we have a set of main keys which has the house, landy, polo and camper doors & ignition key on it (and actually in addition have a third set of keys which has house, landy and polo and nowt camper related). Will be adding a copy of the petrol cap key to the main keys - I took the main key ring because the camper keys don't have the house key on. And if anyone has read this and even vaguely understands what I'm on about then k+ to you!

 

Oh man....!!!

 

Once bitten......twice.....oh not in your case When do you want us to come and remove the bus from you??

 

A flat bladed screwdriver will do the trick in an emergengy

 

Buy yourself a leatherman multitool and carry it on your belt or stick it in your handbag/manbag

There not cheap but will help you out of no end of sticky situations

 

Petrol (gas) in the states was as cheap as peanuts the last time filled up a 3.5L 4x4 jobby in Florida. We pay for it in bank loans in UK. If you don't want it nicked bolt it down works best here!
