Cranking 31: Battery Flattery Gets You Nowhere
Sorry Guys, I've had some software issues this end and missed the Tuesday update as a result. I managed to resolve them last night and so will update again THIS SUNDAY the 02nd December to make up for it.
OK so the title is a play on an old saying but oh, is it true! I had a go at starting the Renault again and really went for it this time; there are points in this video where I absolutely the starter, turning the key and holding it whilst the engine is trying to start. I think I got it to "run" 3 times but each time it chugged and stalled on me. Eventually the inevitable happened and I flattened the battery. I think the engine is flooding; the smell of petrol was very strong and you can occasionally see smoke drifting past the camera.
I also went for the secretarial look here with a see-through white blouse, black skirt, patent black heels and white nylon socks. However I have to admit......the overall look was less secretary and more schoolgirl! Make of it what you will! The socks are nylon but with a cotton heel and toe; I've bought a few of these with several different patterns in black and white, so if you guys like them I'll showcase more.
The video is recorded from outside the drivers door via a tripod mounted camera; over time whilst making these videos I've managed to evolve what I do and how I do it, so I can now pretty much record them on my own. There IS a footwell recording also, however the sound has distorted on it so I have chosen not to use it at this stage. It was ok whilst cranking but each time the engine tried to run I think the camera was vibrating against something which caused additional noise. I'll upload it if people want to see it but put a big discount on the price. I'm not going to market substandard videos!!!!
Updates due...
the Renault in black tights and gold fluffy mules (back by request!). This will also feature the Renault's exhaust puffing out smoke, by request.
Halloween party breakdown in the Ford in green tights and green/black witches dress with fluffy black heels (this was a headache; I was stranded!)
Pumping up the punctured Renault's tyres in black heels and white nylon socks (the same clothing as featured in this video)
Enjoy Guys!
