Got myself a new battery today as it had an intermittent starting fault, it was starting sometimes then other times needed a push start as the battery would be flat. After a quick push start though it would start off the key for a few days...

Apparently the battery man said it was only getting up to 280 amps whan it should be 600...

So lets hope its all sorted now!!!

Oh I machine polised it too....Nice

Also, drove to Aberdeen last night to see Snitch, with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

Good film and worth the watch, even just to see him get a beat down, for a change!
