• Parallel Parking Against The Traffic 9 Sep 2020 (Forum)
  I recovered the car today, taking a charged battery to it by bus. No ticket, but Smartphone Stazi vigilantees are a growing threat here so it'll be a while before I can be sure I got away with it. Probably need a new alternator but dunno about availability yet.
