It will go on for ever mate but when you want a bad car to last and get you home it will pack in right away.

Rhys it was driven for quite a while with leads on the wrong terminals!

As one of those who attempted to blow the thing up, I can vouch it held on for ages!!

Loads of water was chucked into the carb / open air box numerous times... which immeditately killed it, but it would fire up soon after Each time, foook loads of steam would fly out the exhaust!!

Anyway, a great waste of 2hrs
