Both nuts. But you'd never make the first one in Scotland or Wales. There's no roads with a straight that long. Heck. There's barely time for the wipers to swipe the screen before the next bend.

I know a guy who put up factory siding in Saudi. In the work camp there was no booze, and also no petrol, for some reason. Way out in the desert. Some of the guys were into trial bikes and had their bikes there, but no petrol to run them, so they decided to make their own by harvesting the abundant wild dates that grew round about, fermenting them and distilling the mash in a ramshackle still. I suppose they'd have been flogged and thrown in the hole if the authorities had found out, but they weren't making moonshine to drink, only to power the bikes! He said the went like rockets on it.

I think your mate might have been pulling your plonker! Petroleum cheaper than bottled water, no regs on transport. I see it transported in IBCs or even 20L water cooler bottles. I work in some V remote places and the one thing there always is, is petrol.

tbh, if you were a Saudi teen you'd think that was fun as well.

 

They can't drink or get a girlfriend. But they can indulge in bum sex with their mates and drive like lunatics.
