well, i say......... this is a smashing post har har har

some naughty pix there

i have lost the ones of my first saffy,
had a 2wd flint grey saff when i was 18 and gave my mate a go (of the car!) and he hit a tree sideways and smacked the tree with the n/s/f door and the door came in and made the seat half the width and totally crushed the trasnmission tunnel, fook knows how i got out unhurt as i was in the passenger seat!

scared me a bit that crash, i`m a "bad passenger" now.

what concerns me is the fuel line on the XR2TURBO!!!



The fuel line on my S2Turbo rotted away after the battery was leaking acid without me knowing!!! And the other day the temp fix came off, pissing fuel out at the local garage, nice.

Getting the proper ford part on Tuesday, can anyone tell me how dangerous it was me drivingmy car leaking fuel for the last god knows how many days/weeks/months?? Could this have been the end of me and my car?
