This evening, on my way home to get ready (to go out with the girlfriend), my Clio decided to run out of petrol.
I knew it was low but was going to get some on the way back out... oh well, stupid me.
I rang my house, and after about half an hour my sister turned up with a can of petrol. In it went, and I got in the car to start her up..
:: click ::
nothing..
:: click ::
grr..
The battery had died from sitting there with sidelights and hazards on for 30 mins!
My sister went back home to get some jumpleads from a neighbour, returned once again and we did the necessary.. After a minute or so of, erm, charging, we fired up the Clio again and it seemed like it was going ok.. then it started chugging again, and cut out.
Not enough bloody petrol!!! GRRR!!!
So off the sister goes once more, and comes back after quite a while (she forgot her purse the first time!) with more petrol.
Same deal again, battery has gone flat, so we pull out the leads again.. this time they decide to fookin melt on us.
Finally rang my mate who turned up with some heavier duty leads, and got it going! 2 sets of leads, 2 petrol cans and 2 hours later!!
i shouldnt laugh but what a romantic nite out for the Mrs lol
