The New Forest exists in a bit of a time-warp, helped by draconian planning regulations that make it virtually impossible to change the use of a business. There are also strict weight limits that make delivering anything difficult.

The result is that there are 3 garages near me, one even sells petrol and diesel, that look like the garages I grew up knowing as a kid.

First, on the A36 is the one that sells fuel, they serve you...


What is that law that says you cannot put more than 2L of petrol in a can?


Moving on, into the Forest we find Volvotech... Busy servicing Volvos, but no fuel.


Deeper into the forest we find the Rosary Garage. They were selling fuel up to a couple of years ago.


The Ford doesn't look as if it has moved for a long time....


There is one more I want to "bag" as they still sell leaded 4Star fuel....
