Snapped his rear axle like 3 times, never went above 25mph with that amount of camber and was deemed unsafe and impounded by police who had to call the firebrigade because he smashed his sump.. :D

Insane.... apart from the obvious and the cunningly placed bolt, another shocking thing is how that rear spring is sitting!  Not worth the hassel if you ask me but i'm sure they enjoyed the attention while it lasted.  :grin:
