09/05/2006: "The Pony - Part the Seventh"

One o' my Most Embarrassing Experiences

By turning The Pony backwards,
I had also blown a fuse and lost my heater/cooler fan
and my dash lights

so when I'm drivin' round in the dark
I can see where I'm going

but have no idea how quickly
in which gear
or if I have enough petrol to get there!

Brother T came round a couple of days later
& taught me about fuses.

In my limitless ignorance
I assumed that fuses
would be specific to a certain make/model of car
and therefore a nightmare to procure...

Not so - they come in jellybean colours
for different power ratings,
their function (heater, wipers etc) is clearly written on the fusebox
and it's simple to tell an intact fuse from a blown one
(especially with my brand new torch).

A small sigh of relief!

Brother T had been at a mate's car yard
& had ripped the fuses from at least half a dozen cars -
he had a bag of 'em!

He also put the facia (is that right, 'Tish?) back together -
which was ripped out when those fucking junkies broke into The Pony
& ripped out my Brand New CD/radio...

AND - it turns out that The Pony has a light in the ashtray!

Attention to detail is the reason Jodie Foster did those Honda Civic ads.
(go see her ads for Honda Civic Ferio on Youtube - yes, Civic; yes Ferio!)

to be continued...

PS: The amazingly complex & wonderful human being that is Jodie Foster

is summarised thus:

Jodie Foster (born November 19, 1962) is a two-time Academy Award-winning American actress, director, and producer.
