Bringing Home Sarah (Part I)

So I left by Tony that Monday morning a very happy camper.
I had journeyed to the southland as I mentioned before to carry out this transaction and I was quite pleased with myself. One could say I felt like I ate cake.

I had noted that the car was below half with fuel, and so I asked Tony how to get to the nearest gas station. He rattled off some directions and I figured, hey It's Trinidad, I can't get lost.

I suppose one can only be so wrong about getting lost. In my case I was plenty wrong.
So I set forth in my Blue Turbo II Series 4.5 RX7 in search of fuel. On a quest to quench Sarah's thirst.

And I drove and drove and turned corners and saw fewer people and more greenery and less buildings, and more shrub and less concrete but I was still thinking, I must be approaching it soon.

I figured, look I have a bit of gas, I have my cellphone and so what could be an issue?
I glanced over at my phone to be greeted with a No Signal icon.
Not the best of graphics to encounter whilst on a road trip with little sense of direction.

But I kept going, until I came to a set of traffic lights at a junction.
I figured I'd turn right and head into whatever town, and look for a gas station.

As I was turning I read the sign which indicated to me that I was in Debe.
I thought to myself, but that is not exactly close to where I was in San Fernando.
Say what I figured, worse case I'd enjoy some alloo or challoo pies and the famous doubles. (These are tasty Indo-Trinidadian savoury delicacies for the non-Trinidadian readers. Debe is famous for doubles.)

So not too far in, I spotted a gas station and pulled in.
Now to find the gas tank lever, without looking like a complete noob or as if I stole the car.
I look around and thankfully pull the gas tank lever and not the hatch glass.

The attendant fills it up and I ask how to get to the highway to head to town.
He says, take the Ring Road by the lights and keep going.
So said, so done. I kept to the road, still no signal, but with faith in fresh fuel and that lovely rumble from the dual exhaust I set forth boldly.

I was feeling like Captain Dré of the RX Enterprise

"Mazda - - - - the Final Frontier.
These are the voyages of the RX7, Sarah.
Its mission: to explore strange, new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."
Starring: Dré as Safeq

And then I hit that highway, and let loose to see what that baby could really do...
