Sat navs are really shit! Tells you to do a u-turn on the motorway

Saved me from running out of petrol yesterday though. Was in Manchester with the fuel light on and didn't have a clue where the nearest petrol station was lol.

not likely mate
510d sent me and my bro up a track lane, big ass hole in it full of water "and it was dark" so we didnt know how deep til

BANG yes thats the floor of the car, cant back up ended up driving up the verge
plus the water is hitting the engine and the brakes so is steaming, it being a old escort we didnt know if it was the puddle or the engine had gone

when we got home next day we checked the car, fuel was reading more than we left....


why, cos the tank was that dented

whole underside mullered

Must agree, other than taking me to a gate for Alton Towers that obviously hadnt been opened in yonks ended up driving along a narrow path NEXT to the traffic going in to Alton Towers, they gave us some right funny looks

Actually, come to think of it.
This was on the way back from Trafford Centre the other week
