Just maybe this is why DVLA is trying to make it harder to modify cars

It may b a rush when driving not knowing if your going to stop in time or lock up and slide along on ur 70 profile tyres which are only rated 4 80 mph max

I may b getting old but surely safety sould not b taken lightly!!!!!!!!

cos escort mk 3 is very mush a sleeper

hope the guy with the volvo has a fire extingusher

Don't want to offend anyone but even a blowout can cause major damage to a car or even DEATH!!!!!
