This weekend just gone I put over 700 miles on my parents car, starting in
Warwickshire, going down the M40, A46, petrol stop outside oxford. The Lego
sets had arrived, but were still packed in boxes. However after about an hour
(Yes, really a whole hour) we were able to talk the attendant into opening
them. First box, out comes #1. Next box, premium F1 pit stop. Third box Model
Team Ferrari, and having only put 30 pounds petrol in the car I didnt ask them
to open any more. However, after 10 minutes figuring out how to enter the sets
into the till the attendant asked why I didnt just put 10 pounds of petrol in
for the 3 sets!
Next day I drove from Hampshire, across to Kent - in that terrible weather.
Then from a small place outside Chatham (doesnt someone live there?) to another
small place outside East Grinstead (hello Huw, did you get rained in - I had
trouble getting through.) Along that road I must of passed more shell stations
than all other petrol stations combined! I did stop at one, but they only had
#3. As I got back to Fleet - Hants It was again time to fill up. 30 quid in
petrol, stock consisted of both premium sets, Ferrari, and #1, #2, #3, no
restrictions on which you can get as long as you spend the 10 pounds per set.
Out to Guildford on Sunday, and again Monday, 20 quid more petrol on Tuesday
morning in Fleet before heading back to Warwick. In one weekend I somehow
managed to obtain 3 each of #1, #2, and #3, a ferrari, and the f1 pit stop. If
only my parents would ask me to taxi them about more often.
