Hands off the spud-faced nipper! He can afford it after all.

Don't forget that quite a few here have confessed to the same sin. Perhaps we should invite the nipper to join us.

My goodness the stuff that passes muster as a news story these days depresses me. Newflash: A famous person dares to do exactly what thousands of others have too. Let's crucify him for being just as stupid as everyone else.

Actually, the most stupid thing this story reveals is that with his money he got a diesel instead of a stonking great V8.

"Dad deliberately fills son's ugly CZC with diesel so that it won't go and he gets to travel in a nice breakdown truck instead"

Only joking :)

I thought new BMW, Ford & Land Rover already have built in mechanism to prevent this.

That's what I heard in Dragon's Den presentation on misfueling.

this.

That's true actually - so I wonder why it didn't work?


Separately, I wonder what Mercedes thought about seeing him pictured with a Range Rover, having just signed Wayne up on a two-year deal to act as an "ambassador" (Mercedes have since denied that he's an "ambassador") for Mercedes.

He's been given a customised Mercedes CL63 Coupe worth £121,000 as part of the deal, but he's only actually required to drive it to and from matches and training.

I had to have a meeting in a client's car today as he was waiting for the breakdown truck. He'd filled his wife's diesel Bora with the finest unleaded.

He'd have to be an Amabssador - with looks like his he could never be "The Face" of Mercedes even with the sticky-out wing mirrors!
