I really dont need this...

Took a trip out tonight to get some cash, I didn't intend to be long so I
just took my atm card, no coins or ID. Nearest ATM had a comms error so I
decided to head for the next closest that was run by a different bank. This
is in the centre of York, approaching the city centre I found it full of
people at 8pm...then the light dawned, thursday nights in December are late
night christmas shopping and the city centre is closed to vehicles.
Eventually I ended up at a cash point on the other side of town. Got the
cash - Ur-q wouldn't start. No chugging or anything - completely dead, not
even a click from the starter relay. There I was, in a rather iffy
neighbourhood, after dark, in heavy rain, with a large sum of cash on my
person, a dead car, no ID and no way to contact any recovery. I figured that
if I walked to a late-night store to get change for the phone the chances of
the quattro still being in one piece when I got back were pretty low, so I
tried the microsoft method - got out, locked it, armed the alarm, walked 10
yards, walked back, unlocked it and it started first time.

Maybe tomorrow will be better....
