Couple of modern photos in your original lot I reckon Grizz ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Like the look of this '57 Chevy, wearing chrome reverse rims. Shame is not a bit lower. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/Pickup%20Truck%202013/gas12.jpg)

I filled up my motorbike with petrol 5 times yesterday on my way from Apollo Bay, Victoria back to Adelaide, South Australia. We saw a lot of old-school service stations on the way. At the Shell in Colac, Victoria, they had a couple of rusty old pumps out the front with no roof over them. As I was filling up, the old guy came out of the shop and watched me. I wasn't quite sure what he was doing, but surprisingly he was waiting to read the meter! The meters weren't connected to anything inside the shop, so he had to come out and read the meter for each of us to fill up, and ring it up on his till. Very old-school, especially considering the town had a large, modern BP just around the corner, and a Mobil somewhere else in town. I didn't get a photo at the time, but here's the Google Streetview. The big vertical white cylinder is the LPG tank, for the pump right in front of it. ![](http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/oo304/waveman1500/colacshell_zpsaca4001d.jpg)
