Mike C Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 bit scary tho, having ur car declared unsafe to drive after you'd just driven it there down motorways and everything, cudda bin gonner easily, and much worse cudda mangled the car. That car's a one-off, there's millions of fookers like me ah well, i escaped with a warning i guess, on the bright side, car shud be 100% better after this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
