Special Thanks

I would like to throw a special thanks to mercman from Elstow.

Being a typical guy i am, I pushed my fuel gauge, while towing, to the very bottom limit, and ended up in Elstow tonight with not enough fuel to make it back into stoon. See I had things planned out where I could get diesel on the way, but little did I remember that most of these places dont stay open past 8!

Long story short we found some older fella that very nicely called around to try and get us some diesel, and found a young fella that worked for the town to sell us enough to get back to Stoon. At the end of our conversation, we figured out that we "knew" each other (with the mention of Ryans name" through this site.

Anyways thanks again mercman, you had better get your *** on here more often, your a hell of a nice guy to help us out like ya did!
