Nobbled by the fuel guage!

We've all done it, trying to squeeze those last few more miles out of the reserve tank before you fill up again... I was just approaching the Thrapston junction on the A14 when without any warning she just died. No coughing or spluttering for a couple of miles, just dead.

Isn't there a fuel guage fitted? Well yes there is. It reads 11 litres before asking to be refilled. I'm thinking no probs I've got 10 litres left then. Not at all...



And whilst I'm at it... Spotted, red Chimeara driving past me whilst I stood at the side of the road. Those TVR boys really are grumpy!

Yeah, luckily my boss lives in Thrapston, so he rescued me with a can of juice - I would have felt a right plum if I'd had to call the AA out!
