20080204 - Gates

My new gates. Still not really revealed and a rotten piccty but I'm in a dark and gritty mood and it's all I can be bothered to do.
Behind the gates is my car :( Last week I noticed that the courtesy light didn't come on when switched on. Then yesterday the alarm didn't arm when locking the doors. On the way home tonight the pooter thing showed me a picture of a battery and the trip-recorder didn't give me any miles, it just said "FUSE". Found the fuse, changed it but it blew straight away. It hadn't blown yesterday 'cos I checked it then as well.
Fortunately it's booked in for some other stuff tomorrow, hopefully they'll be able to mend the freshly broken bit too. Cars. Hmph.

No offence meant, but with your ability to have things break
please keep clear of my neck of Gloucestershire :)

I like the shot too - and it is spooky. Good luck with the car!

Looks a bit spooky. No wonder your car won't work!
