> Hi Everyone.

> Yesterday I took my '81 for its first drive out for a few months and had
what has been the funniest (although potentially dangerous) reaction to
date.

> I needed to fill up eith fuel and so went to the local Tesco Supermarket
which has its own petrol station. As i pulled up at a pump and got out I
noticed that at the pump opposite was a young girl of perhaps 18/19 years
old who was just filling up her Mini Cooper.
> While I was filling the D, I couldn't help but get admiring stares from
everyone at the fuel station, including this young girl. I then noticed that
she was so overcome by either me or my car (I think the car) that she hadn't
realised that her fuel tank was full and she was now just pumping petrol all
over the garage forecourt and it took her a few seconds to realise what she
was doing. As i said potentially very dangerous. Fortunately a station
attendant noticed and covered up the spill with sand.
>
> The girl was rather embarrassed and with the price of fuel in the Uk at
the moment I bet I cost her a few pounds in spilt fuel.
