If the head gasket goes after 90K that car has been abused and neglected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Violating" instead of "having sex with", but if combined with just taping it on the roof afterwards, instead of checking the water levels would be neglect. Not sure if that helps or muddies the water somewhat ? Edited August 20, 2019 by Amsterdam_Neil_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britain's answer to the hatchback boom. Design a hatchback but give it a saloon boot, thereby removing the convenience and main selling point of a hatchback, and it's more aerodynamic in reverse, and has a hilarious turning 'circle'. I love them precisely because they're so monumentally shit in every possible way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of detachable... I did once have access to a Bedford Crew Bus that had the best unintentional detachable feature ever. A detachable gear stick. Put it in neutral and take the stick out. Rob that now ye f**kers! Left that van in all manner of places I'd never normally leave a vehicle. It also seemed to have something of a Formula 1 engine under the hood. I once did Brum to Liverpool in an hour in that (yadda yadda I know its 100 miles), this was in the '80s I didn't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2019 The utter ****wit who was driving behind me on the A41 for miles, practically taking up residence in the boot of my car. Constantly edging out to try and overtake me, seeing that there’s on coming traffic and that we’re both stuck behind half a dozen cars and they’re stuck behind a tractor. Hence why we’re going 20mph below the speed limit, you ****ing dolt. But no, half a mile later, check again to see if you can overtake... Hope you got home safely, Representative for Wellingborough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
