Which is why I ALWAYS disconnect the battery when parked up. Imagine it happening in a row of cars at a show like wheelsday,or in your attached garage.

At least the car wasn't totalled,I remember seeing pics on here of the build,absolutely stunning.Let's hope that once his business is back on it's feet he can find the will to re do the car.

One of these is handy if you need to keep clocks or radio programming going. The fused bit allows small current through. Any short that could cause a fire will blow the fuse first.
