user error, I'd forgotten to charge the battery after it had been sitting for a while 
I've done that more times than I could count. Just end up driving around with a jump pack in the boot if I'm in a car that hasn't been out for a while. Somehow they're always out of fuel too, as if someone has gotten thirsty and sat there with a long straw. lukeharding said:

Not surprised really, modern cars don't like being jumped from (nor do trucks, as we had more than a few ECUs blown on ours when staff kept doing it...)

Yep, could've been an expensive mistake. Spotted a few things over the weekend.
Assume the Royce is a replica?
Edited to add: love that series of Alfa's, GTV's, Junior's etc - wish they'd do something similar to Alpine & resurrect that style of small coupe for modern era (pigs might fly etc).

The Alfa was just lovely. I had a 1300 Junior and it was glorious. I'd love for Alfa to make one again in a similar vein to the Alpine.

That a current shape Renaultsport Megane - I've only seen one of those on the road.
Yep, they absolutely hooned it off of the roundabout too. I'd quite like to have one really. I've test driven a 280 and been a passenger in a Trophy R (which was utterly mind-bending)

Looked good. Smaller than I'd realised & very compact, tidy piece of packaging. Not so keen on the rear treatment & 3/4 view or the wheels (although that's easily solved). Overall impressed though - did a double take as I drove past B&Q and then nipped back for a better look (I'm a sad b
d). Two more this pm in Chelmsford: green rally prepped Healey 3000 outside an office on New London Road and a bright blue C3 'Vette rumbling along Parkway.

I saw a Rover SD1 on the A127 yesterday evening, and then a kingfisher blue XJ-S shortly afterward
