Contaminated fuel

"A number of motorists reported that their engine warning lights came on
without warning."

Umm, isn't that what warning lights are _supposed_ to do?

"Intorducing the new Fiat Gizmo, with pre-warning lights"

 

This reminds me of the occasional news story about drug addicts being
poisoned by a bad batch and I think to myself here is a bad batch of
another sort of addictive drug.

 

Brings a whole new meaning to fuel injection.

 

My ex sister in law died many years ago from a "good" batch, it was nearly
pure heroin apparently.

 

Oh shame. I've read of that too.

 

This is an appropriate place

Now, if that were a baseball cap he was wearing, I'd see a new
career ahead of me. (The likeness is astounding, eh Nigel?)

In fairness, every time I've met you, you've looked completely different
to the previous occasion. I blame the working in a high-radiation
environment, myself.

I laughed at the cartoon on the front of the Torygraph this morning[1].

Nah, just have the pre-warning lights stay on all the time.
