That hose is hardly visible, wouldn't it be bad if someone whizzed in and pulled alongside that pump........ ::)

I also like the fact she left the lights on, so ignition is on? Along with door open  :D

Was going to change your name to Mark, but then I remembered... ::)

Many cars designed after 1990/produced after 2000 have a feature which leaves the lights on when the key is removed and the drivers door is opened. On really posh cars, it is programmable too :o

The only fail is that she didn't realise that the long reach hose that she had parked next to, would also reach the left of the car. Assuming of course, that the right hand pump was actually working...

Also wtf were the attendants thinking by allowing her to fuel in that manner...

But no, it's a woman, driving a mini, and therefore must be wrong >:(

It looks posed to me, but nobody would post such a thing on the internet. Would they?

Picture from Tunnies Dropbox... Which begs the question as to why he felt it necessary to take the picture and post it on tinterweb rather than point out the error of her ways :-\

Errrr....Tunnie would have to use a hosting site such as Dropbox or photobucket even if he lifted it from the web. The other way would have been to just post a link to it.

You think I took the picture?   ??? Oh dear.  ;D  ;D ;D

Not that it matters, but it was on a Facebook feed, not everyone has that, so kindly hosted it on dropbox.

The only fail is that she didn't realise that the long reach hose that she had parked next to, would also reach the left of the car. Assuming of course, that the right hand pump was actually working another self-obsessed "me first, 'ain't I dippy, LOL" type in, most likely, another BMW based tawt charriot would have driven through the pipe without even noticing it at high speed whilst using the forecourt to turn round in. With a bit of luck it would be the end of the hose in her fuel tank that would give way, along with her hand, otherwise she'd be in a lot more bother ...  ::)


Fixed. ;D

MINI drivers are a separate species.
