Women drivers, LOL.
Wife's Xantia blew a turbo yesterday
, so today she's gone to Bradford in the Scoob
Sets off at 0645, my phone goes at 0655.
"This car DOES take unleaded doesn't it?" (She remembered it's not standard fuel, hey, wow!)
I ask where she is, and get the response, "At the Shell garage".
I inform her to use V-Power. Search ensues. "There's NO V-Power".
"There MUST be", say I, "Have you looked at all the pumps?"
"Yes," says she, "There's only 97 octane super unleaded".
Then the penny drops: "WHERE did you say you were?"
Silence. More silence. Then: "At the ESSO garage".
FFS, and they reckon women should be allowed out in cars
Oh well, at least she remembered it takes special fuel, and she DIDN'T put diesel in it............

True story, so I'm told 
, regarding a friends wife, as follows;
Wife takes new Golf, her company car newly delivered on a Friday, on it's first business trip the following Monday.
Her first stop for fuel is at a motorway service area.
After filling up she notices the usual sign saying 'have you checked your oil?'.
Having a newly found concern for her shiny new motor she decides to check the oil level. On inspecting the engine bay she can see a large cap, yellow, with an oil can symbol embossed upon it. Having removed the cap and looked inside, she cannot see any oil.
She proceeds, having paid for her fuel to buy a liter of oil too. She puts the complete liter down the orifice and does her visual check once more
Still no oil apparent to the naked eye so she repeats the process until oil is visible.
On starting the engine it promptly hydraulics causing terminal damage.

A former female boss of mine made me laugh. She had a Phd in Biochemistry but was a trypical female when it came to cars. She came in the one day to ask me how she should put oil into the car as she had been trying to top the oil up through the hole for the dipstick, she asked me if it would be quicker if she used a funnel......
