It makes no difference. You still have to put the space-saver on to take the car to Kwik Fit. :shrug:

Actually, the last time I had to call the AA, I'd left my lights on and run the battery down, so I was feeling like a proper cünt and no mistake. :hehe: He was very nice about it, but I knew he'd probably have a good laugh about it later.

What if you're having it orf in the car? Which wheels drive it will make no difference, surely?

Anyway, you need to get over this idea of cars being fun. They're not meant to be fun. Indeed, the logical endpoint of their development is that they do all the work and are no 'fun' whatsoever.

I have a plan for this Sir C,
The garage i normally go to is about 30 seconds drive. I reckon I can make it with a quick blast of air,

Obviously such a thing is never going to happen. Where the fúck would we find a load of 1973 Ford Escorts, for Christ's sake. I'm just saying, like.

These ****ers don't know the joy/skill of pulling out the manual choke and feeding it back in as the engine warms up either. Or having to put a peg on it if it decided to move itself. :hehe:

btw, if you find a load of 1973 Ford Escorts you'd be filthy rich*


*Richer even than you are now...

Except when you are dogging of course

You're not joking, b. I thought I'd buy myself a Mk 2 RS2000 and have it restored for a bit of nostalgia. People are asking £25k for a basket case!
