stuck in traffic outside the NEC today, a car was broken down. The lady driver seemed to be pouring a big can of oil into the radiator!

the new driving test tech questions may not be such a bad thing after all!

Showed my sister how to check the oil and, honestly, the next time she topped up the oil she got a funnel and put a litre down the dipstick hole!

I think I may have solved your mystery.

When I had a Capri it overheated and the only thing I had in the car was an almost empty oil can. I disposed of the oil at my local recycling point(yeah right) and filled the oil can with water to cool it down.

I bet that's what she did.


Women don't generally mend their cars - that's why the mobile 'phone was invented

I have no idea what road it was, except its the bit of dual carriageway from the NEC to the J4 of M6 - which could be same road - i was heading to M6.

I go past there every morning before 6am. That area has a certain reputation with our limp-wristed friends

Bet you enjoy the blast between Balsall Common and Kenilworth.
