Ticking me off

End of the months so time to note the miles on the cars and found the Ferrari battery was flat - and that something was 'ticking' rapidly. Sounded like it was from the alarm but not sure. 

I've not used it for a month and not had it on the trickle charge. So I may have drained the battery. We'll charge it up for a but and see what happens.

I went outside a coupe of hours later and could hear an even louder 'beeping' from somewhere - ah that's coming from my garage !

So I used the booster to start the car  - I'd forgotten how heavy the tyre is to lift out to get to the battery.


It was not happy at all - lights flashing and the alarm setting itself on and off. It kept trying to start even when I turned the key off. However it started quickly and run a bit roughly for a few seconds and then cleared. I ran it for 15 mins and then turned it off - the alarm worked so I decided to leave it on the trickle charge for the night and see what happens.

So back to the scores and the E-type won followed by the Alpine and Carterham - although the Imp even did a reasonable distance. The 308 and Aston did almost none.

ION: Putin has formally annexed the South East territories of Ukraine it holds and made them part of Russia - coincidentally these are rich in rare earth minerals and gives him a 'victory'. Welcome to 1938.
