Yep! That was me :-(

Got there in the rain with lights on, and promptly forgot to turn them off. Only started to think about it seven hours later on the way back to the car... worst fears confirmed when I saw the tiny glow from the headlights!

Managed to get in using the 'you know how' method, and a perfectly timed passing AA patrol jump started me, just a few minutes later. Very lucky really, the run home went OK, and a night on the Accumate left it like new.

Nearest I've had to the Chim letting me down in four months of ownership, but really it was just me being a muppet.

When we parked up and saw your lights on, I racked my brains trying to think of a way to get you out of the inevitable problem.
Even went to the Goodwood organisers to see if they would put a message out.....WOULD THE OWNER OF..........etc - naturally they had other priorities.
Glad to hear you managed to start the car OK.
