You tease!
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.

Not necessarily, they could have had a change of direction and decided to do a whole series based around repairing the Vauxhall Vectra, Ford Mondeo, Peugeot 406, etc ;)

Looks like it's not going to be a series dedicated to the Vectra after all ;)

I don't know where Jigsaw got that from because I don't remember anybody being asked to help with a Herald in fact I don't remember a Herald being done. I worked on a few when they were still a common site. Keep guessing folks! :lol:

To narrow it down further, I suspect they will all have 4 wheels. Well, assuming one isn't so rusty that a corner falls off when it is put on a trailer ;)
