(Please ignore my previously trigger happy sent mail)

Saturday evening, 23.30h, we went out for a drink and parked the urq in a multifloor parking lot which turned out later (2.30h) was closed after midnight untill the next morning. Of course I saw the sign "open 7 / 24 ", me thought this ment 7/24. So we shared a taxi and decided to return for it the next day. 

Said and done, we took the old GT to collect and return my car. Unfortunately for me, I had left the headlights on overnight. Normally the bitch talks to me, but not this time. I also noticed kein Bitte Bremslicht Prufen and SicherheitsGuhlt Anzehen warnings before. Mmmm, did Heidi gave up on me? damned. 

Jump start the car, but how? The battery is under the seat and there was no way my cables could reach the GT behind me. So we had to push the car out, followed by a sharp right turn but the car next to me was too close and prevented this from happening, so we had to push it all the way out before we could make the turn. Did I mentioned this car weights 1300 kg and has no powersteering when turned off? To make things worse, this all took place at the end of the ramp/driveway up the first floor..., so people had to watch and wait...

Finally we managed to push the car out and this now could park the GT next to it. Remember, this all takes place on a busy shopping day, inside a busy parking lot with lot's of people trying to park their cars, and have to pay for it :-). Cables ready and fire up your engines! Let's rev those I5!

Once back home, I was little worried about the voice and searched the quattroforum for clues. Then, it finaly hit me, there was no front speakers connected: I had taken them out for repair last week and forgot all about it !!

Now who IS the biggest dumb?
