I got suspended from college for arsing about on the field in my mini. The letter to the parents was funny as; "driven recklessly, and on one occasion with the bonnet up!". We had to have it up to keep the temps down, the stat was pissing steam out!! Them were the days.

Kick your mates arse for having his foot on your clean dashboard.

I like the AA guys opinion of the driver "outside the mould of normality".

At the ring a few years ago we took SiB's bonnet off and cable tied his fuel pressure reg to the strut brace to check the fuel pressure on boost but the bonnet was removed

My guess is battery had given up completely and would not hold any sort of charge. Especially with modern day automotive electronics, how the fuck did he manage to get away with it without cooking every single circuit on that Merc or blowing the pack up?!
