Title: hypothetically speakin of corse!!
Post by: Alpinehead on 19 January 2008, 19:09
hypethetically speakin of corse... if my car was doing nearly 120mph, and hypethetically speakin of corse the grill spoiler was to fly off, hit the windscreen, scare the living granddad out of me and my missis, and fly off down the a2, hypethetically speakin of corse, this would tend to p1ss you off right???

So just incase this ever happends to any 1, im willing to buy 1 from some1 and hold it as a spare for them, sooo   they can replace it asap!!!

so.. hypethetically speakin of corse im such a good forum member for thinking for every 1, just incase this ever happend!!



in other words...   any 1 got 1 for sale coz erm....   well..   er  yeah, mine flew off!!  :cry: :cry: :cry:

perhaps this is why car manufacturers don't fit 'clip-on kevin' bits as standard  :wink:

 half lost mine on the parkway, got to work and had to snap it off... new one awainting fitting after zie spraying tomorrow (if he ever manages to do the spraying!) looks good i think, as long as its not the bad-boy style one. plus pop-rivet them on, holds much better i think...

Same thing happened to me - wasn't even going that quick - only about 90mph  :grin: down the M56 to Chester
Didn't like it anyway, and it scared the willies out of the white van man behind me who was tying to bully me over - i hate those Merc Sprinter vans

unless it's a 1.8T then you didn't do 150mph. Fact.

Oh and hypothetically speaking, isn't there a for sale section on this forum.  :wink:
