what would happen if...........

[crackthatoff]

one of the battery wires came off mid flight? I ask this because after filling up today I tried to start up and everything went dead.
tried restarting and nothing happened, there was a queue a mile long and I got the sinking sensation I was imminently going to look like a tt.

• ding* realised that last monday I had got a new battery form halfrauds ( as it got a stonking review from autocar or one of them mags, for £65 bricks) and I payed one of the little shites 4 quid to fit it as I couldn't be arsed getting rid of the old one or getting my clothes shit-up !

so I jumped out and checked it to find one of the wires was only just attached.
The little bastard... (usually only the skilled touch my bitch, but who can fcuck up tightening a nut?) so if I was doing 90... uhm I mean 70 on the motorway and this had happened what would be the result? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

All 4 wheels would of flown of causing you to spin into the armco and erupting into a fireball . Or nothing at all .

These are "starter" batteries, and therefore should not cause a drain whilst the engine is running (subject of course to having a fully operational alternator, which would be indicated by the light on the stack telling you the system was discharging)

Your beatch would therefore continue to run as sweet as a nut, or alternatively, as sweet as it does with a battery, if you run one of those metro powered ones.

Whereas a Corolla-engined one would promptly suffer bottom end failure. Again.
