Fancy a milk float (actually, its to fast for you  ;D ;D ;D ;D :D)

I’d have a milk float, not sure you’d take 3.2 as fair trade though!

Considered going 50/50 with car share buddy on Tesla Model S, still to rich for me.

Can't be long before a proper car company buys them and shakes the production side up a bit. ;)

Got the jump starter out of the boot of the Pussy.  I've had it for ages, but actually got to use it in anger.

Its one of those new fangled small ones, and surprisingly it worked :o

they're excellent if you know the car will start within a few turns.
You'll quickly flatten the jump starter if you do any extended cranking.
Being able to put your jump starter in the glove box rather than having a big heavy lump in the boot is a real plus.

Yes, I was impressed with it.

Admittedly it was only a small shitbox, but it started it twice...   ...before the owner informed me that a red light with a picture of a battery came on a few days ago.  So it was proper flat.

I have one which will start my Omega easily, but it struggles with the old 190D.

How do you manage to get a flat battery?
