Something fully mangin'
Hahaha it was all fun up until now...

At about 3:30 this afternoon, I got a phone call saying GAS30T's bottom radiator hose/clamp came loose on the M5 and was over heating mad ways. He cut the hose, re clamped it, all he could get was FOUR LITRES OF WATER to crawl home in.

Possible damaged or warped head now, will see when it has cooled down in the morning.

So, all in all, it was great fun.

*cries in dismay* Thanks for the support anyway guys. I feel like throwing bricks at the car now ha.

If you must know, my mate owns a very large piece of land out in Austral, grass, gravel, concrete, you name it - he's got it!! When I first got my car he told me if I wanted to get up to any mischief, do it in his 2 acre yard - score!


You got to 160kmh on a 2 acre block? that right there is amazingly dangerous. 2 acres is pretty bloody small. Even if the land were an average house block wide it'd only be about 100m long.... one hellava VN you got there to do that then stop as well....

Not really but when there is BS to be called BS will be called. You wouldn't believe how many members come on here and make bogus claims or then backtrack when the realise illegal behaviour isn't amusing on JC. If that's all we find on you then you are doing well. I apologise sincerely for finding and calling BS.

I grew up in the country and now live in the city (half-half in terms of years). When you are older and looking to buy a house you will find out that you do in fact measure the blocks very carefully.
