Well i broke down yesterday

**Mark CSL** · 19-12-2012, 12:12 AM

I thought i would share this.

i went out in the CSL with the wife for lunch
after leaving the m8 that's when it happened a quick blast from the lights and it gave a chug that's a miss fire to you non Scots

round the roundabout and all was good till i went up a small incline at the next roundabout it cut out hazards on and look at the fuel gauge light was on but showing 28 miles in the tank tried to start it
it chugged again and cut out.

Quick call to DAD and 20min sitting on a roundabout playing bejeweled 2
and some funny looks from the passing traffic

any way a lady driving an Audi stopped with her man and asked if i needed any help and a man walked over from Aldi to see if he could help
Good to see there are people out there that will offer to help

Any way Fuel added and off we go

I have run the car till it shows --- on the trip meter so cant figure out why it run out of fuel with 28m on the display

What a tit i felt i have never run out of fuel before

Every thing seems to happen when you take the wife out

Trip computer geared to £1.21 per litre, not £1.48 ?

That'll teach you to rely on Old Tech

Perhaps it was a protest, carrying additional weight.

What was the price of fuel in 03, still under a Quid?

Well under a quid! In 04 when I had my moped it was 79.9
