Perhaps I should have put this in the tailgate. Now I'm really peed off. Last week I had to get rid of my beloved b2 due to a terminal rust problem, but the thing was reliable to the last, it started first time when it was time to go to the wrecker. So today I pick up my daughter and grandson to do a few things, shopping, Timmy Hortons etc. It started without issue at each place so I drop my daughter off and dog-gone it, it won't start, Sounds like the starter is being stalled (as if the motor has way too much advance on the timing). Try to bump start it as the driveway has a slope to it. No go, and now the @##$$% is sideways in the middle of the street. My old b2 would have started so easily under the same circumstances. Took myself, my daughter and some nice guy who was walking down the street to get the @#$%^ back into the driveway, gee that thing is heavy. It's been pretty warm here today, almost 75f, perhaps it didn't like it, it was not overheated though. I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the starter and that's a fairly expensive item around these parts. To cheer me up even more, when I arrive home, my boss (the wife) tells me her computer will not go on line. As she often works from home it has to take priority over everything else, supper might pre-empt it but it depends how hungry she is I guess. And there's no more tea in the pot grrrr. Rant off.
