some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

Lucky she rang her dad I wonder what would have happened if she'd rang her mum instead?! "Stay where you are sweetheart someone will come along"🤓

kombis sometimes burn out(usually bad ie chaffed wiring grommits from startermotor to ign sw..

beetles(and countrybugs :-( )
also burn out...

simple fix

PEOPLE-COVER THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY....

its so easy

so so(insert swearing here) common in beetles

see battery is under seat
most(almost all) batteries have exposed terminals...

seat springs are earthed(see where im gonig here??)

someone sits on seat....................................

guess what happens when a + and - short through a 1mm thick wire...

it gets red hot...

in the middle of the `straw' seat stuffing

and all it takes to fix is.......

recessed pole battery-ie merc style...
or even a bathmat folded over the + terminal....

(boppa cries when he thinks of how many people lose their pride and joy-for the sake of a thongfull of rubber...)
