I was having a crap day...

...but I'd like to thank the Marketing department of Shell Oil for cheering me up.

 

Whilst filling the Zed up with Optimax, I glanced sideways at the 'F' reg Astra at the pump next to me, the main body was a matt red whilst the body kit, obviously robbed from another ageing Astra, was a nice shiny black.

 

Why thank the Marketing department? Well they had managed to convince the spotty, lanky 18 yr old that parting with £5 for fuel costing 6p a litre more than standard unleaded would improve the performance on his 1.4 Vauxhall!

 

Made me smile.
