Yeah I'll be at the next week. I get back from holiday just 2 days before the next meet so I should still be in holiday mood.
Had my alarm replaced, so when the sparkie re-connected my battery (while I was working from home) he faced one of the terminals the wrong way. Half my fault for not double checking, because when the spare tyre went back in & bolted down, it was touching the terminal. True to form, it didn't short out till I was on the M4 in traffic. I pretty much knew where the problem was, but when I opened the frunk & reached for the bolt, I got a nasty shock with some nice sparks flying everywhere [B)] All sorted though, no damage done other than the bolt that ties down the spare is melted, snapped & resembles chalk [8)] Usually not an issue, but I recently installed a taller/bigger battery than usual.
