“Got picked up to go to the next gas station very quickly”

― MartiMarti, Tue 2012-06-05 · Struik
“Spot is quite good, people going to McDonald's over the street and stopping by the gas pump and St1. Quite good amount of traffic and also trucks stopping for rest. I got asked instantly where I was heading and got a ride to Rotterdam. Might have been just lucky”
