bit extreme...police over here work with mot if they see a car on road they have mobile mot units or the power to open up a centre and give your car an mot at night.. so rather than cut them i have acess to pretty much any spring i need.

tryin to do the job on the cheap but with out being overly rash lol

in my view that to me wouldn't get an m.o.t no matter what! it will handle like absolute shite which imo is dangerous, springs from a vectra?? can't imagine them being up to the weight of the car

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it
