Grey S1 parked in Gullane

Post by jason » Fri Mar 08, 2013 12:30 am

Walked past your car near the post office today (Thursday).

TutTowers and an assortment of circuit stickers on it. And a curious tap-tap-tap-tap.... ticking noise?

How very dare you say the ex-Shugmobile was tapping?

It was like a relay switch tapping away (or IACV?). Worrizzit and how long's it do it for, cos car was still doing it 15 mins later when I walked passed it again.

<edit for clarity> the car was parked, engine off

I drove by it at its house this morning in mine - it was sitting under snow, was trying to attack my house on Hummel from the high side but ended up getting stuck and having to leave it round the coner.

Good effort.

Top of Hill Road would have been 'entertaining' last night. I had the misfortune to get intimate with the roundabout kerb in the tin top on the A1/A198 junction last night :x - no grit, useless tyres, freezing compacted snow ice, no grip. Longniddry to Ballancrief was comedy. Kind of.

Dinnae worry Shug. The ex-shugmobile decided it would cut out at a junction and refused to go any further. Very out of character. After a couple of days rest, a new battery & trip to MMC for a service its back to form.
