Something I love about things like using jump leads – you get to experiment with some real inginuity, especially if the car you’re jumping is parked face first into a bush, there just isn’t enough engineering in this world, everything got too easy once it became software upgradable, we all got lazy.

      Yup…well, for his young lady friend whose name I’ve already forgotten, like the gentleman I am.

      Not sure that gives the medium a value, though. “If you’ve got a problem, if noone else can help, make a plea on livejournal”…not quite the sales angle you want if you’re appealling to angsty American teens, is it?

    *heh* I recently found myself trying to reach under a welded-on landrover seat to reach the negative point with _very_ new jump leads (couldn’t-open-them-with-one-hand-style new) that was right at the back under the seat while being thumped by the door in the snow! What fun! It’s what I drive a landy for really ;>)

      Landys are positive earth? I guess they date from the right era for that sort of thing but thats gotta make everything complicated, from jumping to choice of stereo.
