So, that's that horror story out of the way, anyone else feel like > unloading?
I may have mentioned here before about the chavved-up Paxo that went into a mate's Cit workshop because it was pissing coolant out.
Wide 17" rims, lowered...
The tyres had neatly worn through the bottom hose (hence the coolant) but also the arch liners, a section of metal in one inner arch... and the petrol filler pipe...
It left there with a very large bill, a severe bollocking, and riding on a set of standard 14" steels with new tyres...
