Looks like it's had a half decent rebuild now though and looks semi straight

There's always one that wants to piss on your bonfire eh


It's usually Davey himself, and in any other scenario would say that it would never drive the same regardless of how well repaired, but I guess in this case he can change his opinion as he knows the owner

I remember the corsa advert as clear as day, where they cite the lotus tuned suspension. I remember the computer graphics showing a shock obsorber and spring going up and down. Yes shocks go up and down
