Something a bit different

I also forgot to mention, I had a serious car crash 20 yrs ago in the estate one. I was on my way to work, and travelling down a country lane at 60mph, when this little metro car came towards me on a blind bend, then from out of nowhere this idiot in a rover p5b of all cars pulled out from behind it, and hit me head on. the moron was doing (90mph and was late for work, or so his story went, when explaining it to the cops. I was trapped in the car for half hour and had to be cut out, he hit me that hard the prop shaft broke the rear axel clean in half. they had to lift the car onto the lorry, and the road was closed for half a day, whilst they cleaned up and investigated the incident. I had two broken ankles, a snapped ackileze tendon in my leg, trapped nerves in my face, and a number of other small cuts and bruses. so luck to be alive really. police said it was a good job we were both driving heavy old classic cars because if one of us had been in the metro or something like that, we would not be here today to tell the tale. I have a few picture of the car after the accient, I will try and take a picture of it on my phone and email to panky, to show the aftermath.[B)];)

oh by the way, when you look at the front of the timing chain cover you will probably see some sort of sticky hard cement type material slapped on the outer surface, this is there for a reason, it was triumphs quick and easy fix to quietening down a noisey chain. they all had it on , after many were called back after being sold, to have it rectified.;):p
