A case of "serves me right"

[squirrel]

I should have dismantled the fuel pump on any one of the last few weekends.

I shouldn't have accepted that while the car would get me to my destination, it might not get me home.

At least I can catch a bus from outside my house to where it is located.

Not sure how they'll feel about me lugging a car battery on said bus.

Ho hum

the joys of owning a mk1

that sucks mate, but years from now you'll look back and laugh

i actually laughed when i went back with the Corollaskate to try and jump start it last night, and it fired up without any protest. not bad for a battery i'd all but flattened almost 12 hours earlier.

clearly just needed a day in the sunshine. either that or one of the stealth mods the previous owner made was to fit solar panels somewhere...
