If people cant afford to run and maintain a car properly, then they're driving the wrong car. 30 years ago these are the people who used newspaper and chicken wire to support the Plastic Padding smeared into their sills - they've now moved their bodgetastic attention elsewhere. Thank God they don't try and 'mend' the brakes.
