I got to my car and drove home, well I didn't get there fuel exhaustion on the
highway, had to call AAA... the one thing I didn't check was the car.

LOL well everybody is human :-) barring trolls of course!

I know some terribly serious horseriders who have done all the
preparation for a big show, got all the kit, driving miles to get
there, only to find they forgot to put the horse in the lorry :-o

I still think its better to run out in a car, than a plane, but maybe
I'm just too cautious.

Regards
