Default Todays story...

Got a call from the wife driving our new-to-us Park Lane Cooper S to work today. We only picked it up last week and have been having a ball with it.

Anyway I get this call from her that it just stalled while on the freeway cruising at 100kmh, engine light came on and she rolled it to the side of the road and it would not restart.

Fearing the worst I told her to call Mini Assist for help.

Turned out the fuel guage is hidden by her left hand on the steering wheel and yes, she ran out of fuel....

Bet that wont happen a second time!

Yep. I drove it on the weekend so it's my fault. To be honest I didn't see the low fuel guage or light either...
