I Should Look Under the Bonnet More Often

Yes, I’m a bad MINI care-taker, I’ve never claimed otherwise but sometimes even I feel bad about my lack of knowledge of what’s going on under the bonnet. Take this morning: the wife’s Camry has a dead batter so we’ll use the MINI to give a jump start. Pop the hood and, er, yeah where is the damn battery? I was able to find the +ve terminal but had to get the handbook out to find out where to attach the other cable. Camry started and off I went to the INS office for some fingerprint taking. En route I wondered – so where is the damn battery?
