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!)

I realise you don't have any cash, I meant being paid in cash for work you have done ;)
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.

No, but the Diesel ones are actually much, much more responsive and better to drive (I came perilously close to buying just such a beast in 2007 but the rot wasn't well enough hidden :lol: ) so that petrol drinking thing under its bonnet would have to be swapped out. :thumbs:

There is a roadkill episode where they thrash one around an autocross course then off-road in it. I also think there was one featured in Harry and the Hendersons.
