Must have been your old Zorst causing the problem anyway. :-)

see people stranded on the embankment and laugh....
Of course, it makes it all the more stupid for me... because...
After I had reversed out at speed, I thought, well, that's it, I've
wrecked the car, and it's in the middle of the road. So I drove it quite
deliberately back forward and over the embankment into the parking space
at work.
Erm......

Much relief all round, eh? Must have been your old Zorst causing the problem anyway. :-) |
it just hums quietly. In some respects, Im quite glad I did it.
If nothing else, when I come to sell the car in six months, I got a
fairly new exhaust I should be able to get £80 for... :-)
Cheers
Simon
