Jays, I'm going the damage limitation route, a can of fuel in the boot and enough spares to build another car. As for fairies, I'm ok with it, had many a good conversation with the ones at the bottom of my garden..

Thanks Ken A, did think of switching to Evans before the trip but that's another story..

Steve I heard a similar piece of folklore but it was the last one that got the money, not the first.
I'll be tail end Charlie then..
