Not at all. But this Gentleman's Touring Carriage deserves love and
attention. And a few bits 'n' bobs replacing.

You do need warm clothing when refuelling on a cold night though. It
takes a while...

Two tanks linked by a skinny tube IIRC. I've a vague recollection about
filling being slightly quicker if you pop both caps before you start,
although this could be utter drivel.

Nothing so important. The vendor underplayed the condition of the
vehicle. It's fucking lovely, with just a couple of cosmetic challenges
to sort out to have it mint. It deserves it. I'm after a couple of bits
of trim and a sensor. Then I'm going to get Pip's mate on the paintwork
blemishes, and all will be well.

Just the one tank on this one. One tank. One biiiig tank... :^)

It helped when I was filling up my old Mk1 and 2 Mini Cooper Ss

You could borrow the Team UKRM fuelling rig during the closed season.

I could, but it's a bit of a pain having to wait for Wik to drive to
wherever I am before I can fill up.

IDMS in this case. I don't do many miles in a cage each year, so it'd
take ages to pay for itself, and it's a fair bit of fucking around that
I'd rather not do. I'm not complaining about the fuel consumption, I'm
just mildly amused.

At around 55 litres I was looking under the car to make sure the tank
wasn't leaking, mind...

"Wik. Wik. WIK! That fire marshal's back. Again. You know, the one with
the nervous tic. Why's he keep hanging around our pit, Wik?"

Oh yes. It was just in relation to how far I'd driven it since the last
time I'd filled up, IYSWIM...
