Default Mate rolled his nice mk3 escort into a burn.. (with pics)

had ony just left us a few seconds and wasnt even out of the ind est when it happened. Was just out of sight because of some trees but the car is now fucked. Big Dave is ok though, he's used to putting cars on their roofs now






















We pulled it out with 3 trailer straps and a furniture delivery truck. Traffic cops came down but they were cool and just made everything was ok

Even managed to drive it onto the back of the trailer as it started ok after sitting for a bit !!
