the weather was nice this weekend, so I promised my daughter if she did good at a gymnastics completion on Saturday ,i would take her to carnaby street to get her some football boots she's been pestering me for,
it was her first competition and she got 1st place!
so into the 2 fifty but it had a flat battery, I hadn't used it since xmas !
quick trip to local garage and new battery fitted,
off we went roof down ,shades on, through Kensington high st, past harrods, under the tunnel , had to drop a gear and Rev, she didn't like that ! too loud !!
the car gets so much attention, she was loving it, everyone taking photos and filming
on the way home ,same thing, the boat race was on and I have to cross a few bridges to get home,
half way over the car dies!!!,
no electrics at all , can't start it, que a few Oxford vs Cambridge guys all help to push it down off the bridge and over to the side, not one of the crowd being a dick about it, all saying these old Ferraris are temperamental etc
turns out I didn't tighten up the negative bolt on the battery and it jumped off, pushed it back on and away we went home to get the socket set out!!!
