The lesson here:
If you can't spell 'definitely' don't start b*ggering about with your car.
Get a competent adult to do it for you.
Every day's a school day, kids. Every day. If only some of it went in.

the other lessons:
1) dyslexia has nothing to do with what you can and cant do on cars.
2) next time remember were you put the locking wheel nut .
3)dont stand infront of an axle stand thats under your door (with out realising its under the door) when your mate gos to take the jack out from under the car.

the real lesson to be learnt were.
> locking wheel nuts only stop you removeing your wheels , not the pikeys.
> dont let stupid f**k*rs play with jacks
