Two 'no go' episodes (OK breakdowns if you must) in the space of two months already makes 2011 the worst year for the Pasta Wagon by a good margin. This time outside nursery, drove down from work all fine and dandy, came out, and nothing. Dead battery. The man in the yellow van came to the rescue and got it started with the jumper pack but the battery wouldn't hold charge. I managed to get it to the workshop and rob the Austin of its battery which although not anywhere near the same shape or having the poles the correct way round was persuaded to fit in the space vacated by the lifeless original.
So with that squeezed in i was anble to get home again. Early rise this morning to be at the battery shop for 7, then up to the workshop to put it in and then back home to take the girls to nursery before 8..... phew.
No exciting pictures here, a snug fit even after i removed the battery tray, did the job in an emergency though.
