Are you still paid in Rands @Colin Jordan   If I make it, I can lend you a 1-cylinder compressor (I bought a bigger one). You can smoke 1.5 filter cigarettes per tyre.

ADNOC Al Madam station is a few kms away from our exit point, don’t worry for that.

@Colin Jordan the exit should not be too far from Al Madam. There is a gas station just before Al Madam. Emmanuel can confirm, but shouldn't be more than 5-6 Km.

I need a tool that can automatically select “totally agree” to every post on this forum.  Every drive I select this - just to be reminded I have left something out somewhere

See you everyone tomorrow at meeting point. Don’t miss the exit, as you might not be able to make a U-Turn before Al-Madam roundabout because of the works on E44 (I swear, it happened to me a few weeks back!)
