I can't even tell what it was meant to be!! And I'm guessing from something a tad larger than a Rover Metro?

I shudder to imagine the condition of the flywheel after that eh explosion!

BTW...How do you keep your white shirt and tie that spotless in that environment?

Exactly!

The car is a Rav4, and was brought in by the AA, another victim of Primrose Hill in St Ives!

Just driving a Chrysler 180 aged me ---- before setting out in it I used to think anything can happen in the next half hour.
Simca were handed the almost complete design and they proceeded to take out almost all the UK content and replace with French or Spanish crap, the result was ta distillation of worst crap three european nations and the USA could produce
