Well, its been a l*ttle while again guys. This rubbish that 2020 has become just rolls on and on :-(

You'll remember that I was struggling to get my car started after an extended period of inactivity during the UK lockdown which ran into the time whereby things began to move again (how long THAT will last is anyones guess). Well, in the end I had to get a local garage to come and fetch it. As useful for my studio as it is to have a car on the drive that refuses to start, I DO need it to work!

So, their diagnosis was a failing fuel pump....which I can't afford. They replaced the fuel filter (I still have the invoice and dent in my bank account for reference!!) and I have the car back running again.

Only...not quite. It used to do one of two things; it would either start or it wouldn't. Now however it is manifesting something different; an annoying propensity to start, chug slightly and then stop. Its like it just won't quite "catch" sometimes...and its getting worse. Its happened a few times whereby its either been difficult to start or has cut out during my journey. I had been of a mind to start recording some of these occurrences for your benefit and that came one Saturday night a couple of weeks ago.

It had been the day of my friends wedding. We CAN still have weddings in the UK but we're limited to the number of attendees. Given it was a good friend who had to cancel once this year already (and lost a lot of money in the process) I helped Her out in decorating the reception venue.

At the end of the night I again helped to put things away and as such I was about the last to leave with the exception of the venue staff. As it was quiet I decided to record Me getting back to the car to leave, thinking that it was likely to play up at least in part. Boy, was I right; I was in for a horrible night!

I was wearing my wedding attire; a bl*ck and white dress, my hair was tied up with white flowers in, I had super sheer nude tights on with silver satin sandals with a cute bow on the heel (my current favourite shoes!) and I had even put some nail art on my toe nails.

So, I recorded myself walking up to the car on my phone whilst I had a number of other cameras already running; one under the driving seat and one on the back of the passenger seat which I moved around during the course of recording what happened. If there is any doubt amongst You as to whether my videos are genuine, well on this one you can actually see me recording myself which I chose to leave in on the finished edit.

The car gave Me a torrid time. First it wouldn't start; try as I might it just wouldn't "catch". It would either crank or chug and immediately stall; SO frustrating whilst sat there late at night on my own. Once I got it started I prepared to leave and literally as I went to pull off.....it stalled! Back to cranking it again!

Once it started again I set off, leaving the camera on the headrest running. During the course of the journey it cut out twice, leaving me to coast to the side of the road to try and start it again. It was the second of these occurrences where it just wouldn't restart no matter what I tried. I think it was around an hour after it cut out whilst waiting for my ever-faithful friend to come and rescue me that I finally got it to chug back into life!

I have divided the total recordings into three separate videos. Part 1 is the initial attempt to get it to start and the first stall before actually moving off. Parts 2 and 3 are to follow shortly. I may start using extended sample clips to show a bit more of what you get, if I can find the time!

Hope you're all ok out there guys. Please stay safe and whatever you're going through, know that we'll come out the other side stronger for it. I don't care what anyone says, We ARE all in this together

Love, Tina XX
