Billy Gaspedal's Drive-thru

Fast food outlets, transport cafes, take-aways and motorway services are important pit stops for the seasoned traveller. So sit down with a cup of shit-brown tea and lets share some culinary tales.

Nature's Rad-Weld

When Billy was touring clubland as a semi-professional drummer, their hired Transit vans often had leaky radiators. One solution was to crack an egg into the radiator, so that when it got hot, it cooked the egg and sealed the hole. Once sealed, band members would take turns, standing on the front bumper [fender] so they could piss in the radiator hole to top it up!

What's in that food?

Take-away curry

Billy always carried a complete dinner service in the boot [trunk] of his Ford Sierra, because his Dad wouldn't allow him to take curry into the house. Billy and friends could often be seen tucking into Indian take-aways on china plates in the Co-op car park in Carlton, Nottingham. He also kept a bottle of Encona Chilli Sauce in his glove box for emergencies, so that he could transform chip-shop pies into instant soul-food.
