You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

It's under a destrution notice so it's race it and then crush it or just crush it :D

How was that :P :lol:

The breakers in question has opend a yard for classics (basicly the yard they store their bangers in :lol: )
they now sell stuff on ebay, (only ebay cos all the cars "should" have been crushed within 48 Hours of coming in the yard so it's a bit hush hush, just between you and me :lol: ) mainly cos i kept ttelling em how much money they where missing out on :lol: :lol:
