Ho! Hum!

[FLYING BANANA]

So there I was last night looking through some paperwork on the V8 and noticed that since November 2016 I have not spent any money on the car other than petrol. Wow! Well pleased with that. And even better, since the MOT in August 2016, I have only done 5,500 miles, now that's pretty good for me.

So I thought then I best give the car a nice run today, have a pub lunch what with the weather being nice. Get some photography done whilst out and about.
Got in the car and put the key in, nothing, no warning lights, totally devoid of all life. Interior lights very dim. Mmmm!!!!!! Unfortunately because where the car is parked I was not able to get jump leads on from Banana.

Looked at the battery, looks like had been in there for sometime. So off to the local Halfords and got a battery with a 5 year guarantee and it is now fitted. Even used my new tool kit. Certainly starts better.
Totally forgot how heavy the battery was, still has given me an appetite for a pub lunch.
