No Bonzo, I'm afraid 30 seconds in and I was thinking I wish I'd brought spare pants. It was 45 seconds in before I was thinking I got to get me one of these. Apparently he took it easy cos it was a bit cold and grip wasn't as good as it could have been!!!! Most fun I've had with me trousers on I can safely say.
And don't worry TT, I'll try and buy a knacker that won't make the next MOT.

Blame ron champian for that one, had a chance of buying a mk2 escort a few years ago for £100. I didn't because It wasn't very legit. However saw it at an mot station a few months later
