Will check in the light tomorrow! If it's super zero Celsius!!
Went out to start the old girl to take doggo to the vets (again), hit unlock and she was already unlocked, which means she has been unlocked for a week and apparently lead to the battery draining enough that although everything lit up, she wouldn't start. ****!
I get a neighbour to help me start her (15 mins hanging off a Civic) and I get to the vets, come out and realise I am an idiot who turned off the old girl... ****!
Luckily a hero in a L322 rolled in and parked near me, so I cheeky asked if he'd help jump me, he agreed.
Got the girl back home and put her on a charger. I am sure the neighbours will be OK with my setup.

I've got mobile broadband, with so many people using theirs it buggers my signal.I've had 2 phone calls today saying my internet is about to get cut off, better get downloading just in case
I offered him an unopened box of celebrations I had in the car and he declined them saying he had been there and knows it sucks.Hé helped you for two reasons, he's kind and he knows your battery pain

Good job it wasn't @holidaychicken ,if you asked him for a jump you'd have woken up with love bites down the back of your neck.
You say that like it is a bad thing. Being married I'll take it where I can get it.Good job it wasn't @holidaychicken ,if you asked him for a jump you'd have woken up with love bites down the back of your neck.
I'd go and have a look if you were serious about buying it. Covid cases are high here though and I am staying isolated because of my mother so I am not mixing as a rule. Suits me, to be honest. I prefer being isolated!

No point risking the life of you or yours to look at a car.

Just to add to this , I having been pining for a lovely Series II, for several months now. I nearly bought one that was in my tier, but it didn't pull the heart strings. The one I pine for I can't get near. So I have decided, if she is for me she will be there , when I am allowed to get to her. However, I am not risking my health/life , or that of others. Not even for a Series II
May not have been the only thing that sucked!!Good job it wasn't @holidaychicken ,if you asked him for a jump you'd have woken up with love bites down the back of your neck.
I'm dreaming of a white jizzmass!!
