Ah- Nothing in other words! easy job, except the tracking- But today was a definite roof-off opportunity, which I obliged when I drove my 160 home from the staion this evening.
Well done!

Gave in, told him to have a go.

Now, less than another year later, it’s failed again. I...

I've imported Jan's map and updated it with everyone in the previous thread who has more than 10 posts on this board (a few of you need to post a bit more) .
If you'd like to be added or changed, post your car's colour and at least the first half of your postcode.
Haven't crashed a car since the 70’s, as far as I can remember, though there have been a couple of near-death motorcycle crashes.
So tonight I was driving home, round a roundabout, then peeling off onto a main road – don’t think I was doing more than 35 or so. Accelerating gently out of the...
