The reason why we check and double-check...

Hmm, what would be UNDER the bonnett??

After some cleaning...

What happened?
This morning I was a little short in time, and quickly dropped in some oil and went of to school (100km drive), and totally forgot about the cap!
After 100km I had to stop for a traffic light, and something smelled funny.
After I was done at school, I checked under the hood...
First I saw the oil on the bonnet, opened it and my mind blew away.
Then I had to laugh , checked the oil and after that I washed my hands and went home.
The oil was just over the minimum, had some luck with that today...

I went to the local auto parts store, I was gonna do an oil change on the whip. One of the quarts I picked up wasnt fully sealed, damn thing leaked out on the way home. Live and learn I guess.

But that doesn't do you much good when you're 100km away from them :D

Hehe, I can remember a loud knock under the car while driving at 140km p/u, I reckoned it was a stone or something, probably the cap on its way to it's new carreer as tire-killer :D :D
