More Sab fodder here:
Spent half an hour getting all the snow off the car, unfreezing the doors with a hairdrier, topping up the oil, freezing my fingers to the bone. Finally got it started (sans the windscreen wipers, I think the front ones are broken too now) and drove off, happy as can be. Got about 100m up the road and put it into third just coming out of a corner. Engine didn't like it, revs were real low so I thought "ah, must've been going too slow". Drop it into second, still no power, think "hmm, that ain't right, lets drop it to first and rev it a bit". First gear, iot's alright so accelerate up to second again *cough* *splutter*. "Oh shit". Drop to first again to rev it a bit *splutter* *splutter* *cough*. Fuel pipe was frozen. Long story short, car was stuck at the side of the road for half an hour whilst I ran around the nearest village freezing my tits off looking for help.
edit: Also, my brothers being a cunt and won't give me any roses. He's got a whole tin the selfish bastard
