    oi me and marzi went for a trip with stormie in the truck the other day. she liked it so i let her borrow it, she had to fill it up with fuel though... bad mistake i still had the old filler in the cab, and she pumped 10 litres into the cab wondering why it was running out the gaps in the door!!!
