What caused the car to conk out?
Na, it conked out on the dock at work. Got it started but then it conked out on the slope leading out of the yard so best I could do was roll it round the corner to where it sat.
Turns out it was just a loose battery connection :o Still, it was so dark there was no way I was gonna pop the bonnet at that time of the morning.

If I can get there warmer, dryer and arguably safer in the car then I will. Don't get any brownie points for showing up to work like a drowned rat with nuemonia haha
Sometimes I even leave the bike at home just simply cause I can't be arsed with the faff of getting all my kit on, going out to the garage, undoing all the chains/locks, pushing it out to the drive, relocking the garage, warming the bike up.... only to get to work then have to get re-dressed again then repeat the whole process again when I come home.
Sometimes it nice to just pick up the key fob, jump in and go haha
Sometimes it's easier for me to use the bike as I may not need to collect a van so can park up next to office in covered garage which make leaving work so much quicker also. Still, I'm with ya, very nice just to pick up the keys to the car and go :lol
