Ah yes, but that is because I am famous for only doing half of any list, so I have left you off it, thus guaranteeing a greater chance of success! (the May thing? no joke ...)
That's a good point, actually ... but what had happened was that one of the fuel hoses had disconnected, so if we'd had lots of petrol then the car would be standing in a big puddle of it and the likelihood of FWOOOOOM! with the road temp and careless smokers (and this is New South Wales, so let us not discount passing bushfires) would have been more pressing.
The funny thing was that I called what was wrong with the car when the trouble started a few miles before the sudden death (and we were SO lucky it was just before we made it onto the bridge, where there is no shoulder), but my beloved ignored me because I can't even drive. Can't drive, but can smell petrol.
I SO want to hear your story now. Ooh, and I have to email you, too. May do that tonight if the boy does not arise from the dead. I have only 100 minutes left to get to this party ...
