Wah... Yesterday was an adventure man!!!
Basically, cain and me went up to Auckland to get a car... Cain was supposed to get a Honda civic and me a Toyota starlet Turbo... But both of us got pangsai by the respective owner of the cars and in the end we got a small car to drive back to palmy...
On the way back, somewhere between matamata and taupo, the car just died on the road.. Died as in no lights, no engine, no nothing.... Luckily for us, there was a jeep at the back and he kept high-beaming us and we could see the side of the road and got to safely stop there.. And boy, was it DARK!!! both sides were forested area... While checking the engine and hoping that it was not a major problem, i started hearing dogs howling to my right and left... listening to mj12 made my imagination ran wild... Cain detected the problem and it appeared that the batttery terminal jumped out of its socket... When cain placed back the terminal, the electrics of the car started working... it was such a relief!!!! But it didnt end there..
We safely reached taupo and due to fatigue and just plain lazy, we decided not to stop there and refuel as there was still 1/4 tank left.. and so we continued on... half way on desert rd (this road is damn long and curvy with lots of corners), cain said this to me "hey shaf, we are almost out of petrol. it is on the E-mark"
HAHAHAHA.... now i can laugh... but at that moment of time, my balls shrank and my eyes went wide open... NABEI!!!!!
The next nearest town was like maybe 20-35km away...
But we continued... Praying that the engine didnt stopped.. cain drove with upmost caution, pressing the pedal just a bit and travelling at the theoretical optimum fuel efficient speed of 80km/hr.. so many trucks took over us that night...
Soon, we arrived at the new town.. we finally could relax... hahahaha... was it a short relax... coz there was no opened petrol station around!!! HAHAHAHAHA.....
I suggested that we just sleep in the car at the petrol station and refuel as soon as it opens but cain calculated the amount the car might consumed to reach the next town, and it was 30km away.. so being a small car, it wld roughly at max consume abt 2.5l at 13km/litre, worst case scenario... den i said "fuck it! lets gamble!!"
And off we went again.... It was the longest 30km of my life!!! cain did the same thing, drove at 80km/hr....
Alhamdullilah, we reached and top up FULL!!! hahahaha......
Sat off from Auckland at 10pm and reached palmy at 4.30am....
Good adventure.....
