I can't believe you aren't using the countdown on the tagorama website

Just to throw a spanner in the works, in the paper last night was a write up about the Ashhurst mobil needing to have its fuel tanks replaced. The owner isnt prepared or can afford to replace them so there is talk about them shutting the pumps down. Got a bit of time yet but will keep everyone informed as to what is happening, especialy as most fill up before the FNR out here
Itll suck to loose our fuel station

Bloody typical fuel company wankers,shaft any sole trader types,so as to close them and keep monopoly,assuming this is not company owned outlet.

Had a mate who owned a country garage,selling fuel and repairs,caltex said when he said he was going to be selling fuel for 87c/ltr and all others at 90c/ltr(1990-91),thus be cheapest in the province,you have to sell at 90c/ltr to be same and keep margins.He replied his wife would man the pumps,and sales from shop were at normal markup,and the garage would pay the overheads,living expences etc.Basically he could make money at 87c/ltr as he wasn't drawing wages from that side,and as his wife wasn't needing a wage,fell on deaf ears,and threats of removing tanks if he sold less than 89c/ltr.

He he, that'd be the "mobile" in the Ashhurst Mobil station then would it?
Gotta feel for the new owner though, talk about having the rug pulled out from under ya....

Popped down to the testing station with Ronda. Passed WOF check no worries. I think it helped that the tester use to own a 550f years ago. Him -"what year is it? Me-'"76" Him-"I had a 550. Bugger, didn't realise I owned it that long ago. I cracked up.

Now while I was down there the lady behind the desk mentioned she owns a '74 CB400F. Cool. You do meet the nicest people on a Honda after all. I mentioned about the FNR. She suggested I make a flyer and put on their pin board. Now an idea wisked through my loanly brain cell-Why don't we run a little competion for the best flyer? Your thoughts.

Might have to change the form up point looking at Meanies post above dammit.
