Good stuff. Always a good feeling when you pick your car back up

Why was the boost turned down?

Can't believe this dave, just after I thought we'd got the car sorted as well! On the bright side at least you have walked away without major injury!

there will be one, if not then the the mk2 can be 4x4 i guess

the things you do to not take me out in that car dave, this is a bit extreme aint it

your health is the more important thing, thats all we ever need to worry about ( well that and telling the missus also or was that where the blood on your head came from )
