A quick update...

Last night, Team Shitbox came home. Yes. It did. The Elder had one of her revhead friends come by the car park and take a look at it.

It seems that the red electrical tape does not mark the red battery terminal after all. MOTH had connected the polarities wrong. Which, I guess, explains the melted jumper cables.

But they got it started. We are gamely or stupidly out in it this morning.

And the purchase of a heavy duty battery is somewhat imminent.

I don't know if she'll rejoin RACQ now. She leaves in three weeks to another state. There isn't much point really....

oops. Ha, when I questioned Him on the probable cause yesterday his first comment was "was the cable connected properly?" I figured Moth wasn't that dumb, so just ignored the question...

Glad it's over. Worth inquiring in the mean time if you can transfer from RACQ to the NSW counterpart, cause traveling distances may be risky.
