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!)

Welcome to cheap car ownership, lol.
I'm not sure how it will perform in replacement of your Transit / Iveco but you may be surprised.
Otherwise you will have to try selling it on to the owner of a cream crackered 406. You have paid less for that than a garage would want for doing the clutch / flywheel on the pug.

Time for a new computer!
If the link is being stubborn, try going to ebay.fr and searching for item: 281613227421
