As per the title I had a genuine brown trouser moment today and it was all due to the Disco.
So getting in the car this morning I opened the offside passenger door to put my bag in. As I closed the door I heard what I KNEW to be the sound of an unknown big cat purring very close behind me. Actually I think it was some air in the fuel tank gurgling from the motion of the door shutting but for two seconds I was about to turn round and be face to face with some huge big cat living wild in Lee on the Solent having escape from some safari park. I have no idea what heart rate I hit, but even as I type this it's still going like a train.
I think my brain must have still been asleep and I know how ridiculous it sounds but it was genuinely scary!

I still don't know how I made the leap from the car making a gurgling noise to big cat, but it took me about 30 mins to calm down. It was more frightening than the picture of the guy in the mankini who looks a bit like me!

Bubbling?
Gurgling?
Fuel & Air?
Sounds like my stomach most mornings, what's the matter with you Stu?
Ah yes, it's that softly southern D4 drivers thing, not like us hard midland D3 drivers.
