Brumm! Brumm!! Bum!

I started the new Piazza last night- installed a battery, cleaned the terminals, and (eventually) remembered to plug the engine computer back in.

RRRrr, RRRrrr, went the starter.

Zzzzzzzz! went the fuel pump.

Vroooom!! went the engine.

Sssss, Sssss went the turbo.

Pop! went the alternator.

Fuck! said Growler.

Ha Ha, your alternator's smoking, said my spunky neighbour, David.

(David replaced the alternator in his truck a couple of days ago, as I watched, amused. Karma, anyone?)

Sounds like the soundtrack from your adventures in Melbourne...

Whenever you say something like "my spunky neighbour, David" I think of this handsome furry critter standing there with his beard covered - nay, saturated - with jizm....

It's a rather distracting concept. ;)

Karma's a bitch.

D'oh! Stupid poetic justice!
