well after the recent rain, the roads round here are now potholed beyond belief and flooded on a regular basis, so i raised the old girl up a bit.

and subsequently snapped the exhaust in half  :cry:

so today, went to have the new one fitted,  :cool: and shall be going back AGAIN on friday to have yet another one fitted  :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:

thats if i can find out what the little rattle that turned into a BIG clunking from the Drivers  side of the BOOT  :laugh:

gotta love taking all the boot trim out on a  wagon. . .NOT  :angry:

Lowering is for losers.

I could have told the lot of you that some time ago.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
