As you do...

Saw a guy filling up a Ferrari F50 at the garage on whiteladies (opposite Fine Line etc)..


Plate 1 MHD I think

Looked completely out of place parked up at the pumps!

I've previously seen that plate on a few 360s and a couple of lambos in the past.

I suppose everyone has to fill up with fuel somewhere! I hope he was putting super unleaded in it!

I'm pretty certain there is no optimax garage on whiteladies road. Can't believe an owner of an F50 would fill up with 95 or 97 RON petrol.

That's a BP garage isn't it. Don't they do some sort of Optimax-alike?

Used to be BP. It's changed in the last few months, can't remember what to but I know it isn't shell.

I do know they charge you £1.fu%$*^g 50p to use the portaloo-style cash machine outside...

[dazren]

Bank of Scotland up opposite Henry J Beans (125 metres away) has a cashpoint. Clearly the garage one relys on drunken people not worrying about £1.50.

Daz, your detailed knowledge of "the strip" is revealing...

[dazren]

Two minutes from my old office.

[pentoman]

2 minutes from my house too

I cross whiteladies from "posh" clifton into "the ghetto" (redland) every time I visit my GF. The transformation is actually fairly noticeable.



Not that I'm a snob or anything... I just disliked having my Merc star 'removed' the one night I parked up in Redland.

no they dont you are thinking of the ultimat or ultimate whichever way they spell it but that is only 97RON

[pdV6]

I think the plate is 1 WHD and as Daz points out, is usually cruising up & down the strip on various exotica.

The BP was a 95RON-only establishment and has now changed hands to Texaco and is still 95RON-only
