breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

Danny Hopkins has got one. The technical advisor of the Matra Enthusiasts' Club uses a 4-wheel drive Quadra as a mobile workshop for his restoration business and clocks up cosmic mileages, often with a car on a trailer on the back.

We had an F plate 2000-1, it was ok, I can do steering racks in my sleep after removing the original to be reconned after it leaked, only to refit it to find it filled the gaiters up with PS fluid as soon as the pump ran due to a missing seal, meaning removal, sending it back, and refitting. It was a typical 80s Renault, never sure what bit was going to come off in your hand next or when! :lol:

Going from the 90s/2000s cars various gfs have had over the years, not much has changed.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
