This is a question Brain Fade

Freddie Woo tells us how he recently spent ages trying to open his front door with his Oyster Card before realising he actually needed things called "keys". Tell us of times you've done stupid things while on auto-pilot

A nice drive to Portsmouth
I chose a quiet time to go, when traffic was minimal and I'd have a clear run.
So I climbed into my Honda (CRX Del Sol not an Accord) and, after topping the up the tank set off on my merry way.
On arrival I noticed my little GoCart hadn't been as fuel efficient as usual, I normally get down to Pompey, from Essex on a couple of gallons but I'd managed to double my consumption.
I put this down to my driving and, more to the point, what speed I could get out of it (115 for those who are interested).

On my return and parking said GoCart on my drive I noticed that not only was my petrol flap thingy waving in the wind,I'd forgotten to replace the fuel cap.
tl;dr, topped up, broke the law and left most of the M27 covered in petrol.

Lovely....
...car to drive! Electric or manual roof?

Electric.
When it works! But still the best 600 quid I've ever spent

Mine too!
The little handle doesn't half make your wrist ache when the roof knacks though! I loved mine, but the roof became so unreliable that it had to go!

I had mine completely refurbished and it worked perfectly until said trip to Pompey.
I hit a pothole (it actually felt like I hit a ditch)and it hasn't worked since.

Yep, I also have a problem with the drivers side door and trying to find headlight bulbs to fit.
Wouldn't have it any other way though.
I fucking love my GoCart!

Japanese Import?
Mine was exactly the same. Parts were a little hard to come by, not compatible and bloody expensive. I'm having to sell my Z4 due to not having enough money to run it, and will be looking for another CRX later in the year. British. Manual roof. I'll spend some time doing it up.

Love it? Too right!
