Got done for more stuff at regency. It was at Christmas time he was ment to look after it until next yr. Got a phone call saying that my torana was writen off in a drag race better come down and have a look..
Thats nasty, nothing worse than a mate smashing your car, always stretches the friendship.
must admit i got done over by the epa a few times back in the B&S days when i had a twin system hotdogs and about 4 feet off 3" copper pipe underneath. was over 128db when they did one test, neighbours didnt like the start up at 6:30am every morning, learnt my lesson after the 5th road worthy, but in those days there was no fine or demerit points for unroadworthy.
