I hope you cut the tie wrap on the choke, so the engine isn't completly flooded next time you come to it...

PLEASE NOTE:- Names of charatures in the following post have been changed to protect the innocent. Any similarity to persons living or dead is purly accidental, and the author bears no responsibilty...at all!

So ... our hero found his 13mm socket and stripped the front end off his Funbuggy to get to flat battery which had been stopping his first run of the season for nearly a week now. It was pretty cold out, so why .. ermm ... Barry.. didn't put his overalls on will never be fully understood. But, he didn't, so when he nealt down in a slightly damp patch of old engine oil, the new jeans he had bought for last weekend's party were effectively rendered as rags. Our hero was not deterred though and succesfully exposed the offending battery.

The air was blue for a short while around the ... erm .... Liverpool... area, when Barry remembered that his jump leads were at his mates house. But still, an hour later our intrepid hero had recovered his leads and set about starting his Buggy... Leads connected to running car... Barry turns the ignition..............

Attempt 5.... NADA ... NOTHING ... NOT SO MUCH AS A FUC**NG CLICK!!!

What could be the cause of this horrific situation ... Could our hero dare to phone local BuggySuperGuru "Fearsom Phaeton The Flatulent Buggy Builder"?.. No, he'd work this out himself and cry joy from the rooftops at his spectacular victory.

(Now, you lot must be aware that I could easily lie, and tell you all about how Barry stuck a new engine in, and that now Dibble's all better.... but i respect you all too much.......... so I'll quietly confess that after almost quitting again and going back to the pub, I simply turned the master kill switch back on.... and ..... well.... and she started first time.)

Top quality posting, I've been reading with interest and eager anticipation as to when the buggy would fire up?
You should be writing amusing articles for magazines/papers and getting payed for it!
