Default Presents from Strangers

Some chap just knocked on my door and said "is that your ST170 outside", so I say yes (thinking oh shit what happened), but instead he says..
"I used to have one and brought some oil and touch up paint for it - both unopened, here you go mate - was going to take them to the tip!". Suprised, but not to look a gift horse and all that, I thanked him and took them

I was quite chuffed with that and the touch up is the right colour - saved me £10-20 I suppose, which is much better than a kick in the face

I presume 5w30 [Castrol Performance A1] is ok for my ST?

Its better than him saying "Is that your St170 on the drive" yes "well give me the fookin keys then"

It makes you think though.

Decent chap, not what you expect these days, but that is how it should be.

When I had rebuilt my S2 for the second time after smashing it, the bloke from over the road gave me a brand new/boxed Momo Corse steering wheel!
