so today my exhaust fell off,..
« on: 27 March 2005, 21:59 »
the end.

haha.. ok.. its snapped/corroded while i was going along at a fare rate.. luckily friends were in the car behind.. and it was kinda hard to miss the banging noise.. they said they could see sparks.. haha..

i was on a nice flat smooth road.. no bumps n sh!t.. theres been a rattle back there for a while that have never been able to find...

anyways.. its broken right directly after the back box bit.. so hopefully wont be too costly too repair? ...

i hope... argg!!

all sorted now.. seems good... am wondering now exhaust systems had a good bash which exhaust related rattles this will have solved.

oh and considering where it snapped i asked matey at exhaust centre about poss cause.. obviously a bit coroded.. but he said..

"are you a bit heavy on the clutch sometimes mate?"

i said..

"i'm a bit heavy on everything most of the time!"
