will have new brakes monday, tuesday
quite supprised, it got some torque 
loving 4wd
althought the more i drive it the more i find wrong with it
late'st "ghetto" mod is refixing the tax disk with duct tape
oh and fixing a coolent hose with ... yup more duct tape 
ill list whats wrong with it tonight. i forgot how mcuh fun it is with carefree driving is.
new car, drive it carefull look after it etc
shitter- cane it and if somthing goes wrong it's "ah fuck it" its like stress free driving
i belted a kerb in wales "no brakes you see 2 and just carried on, if that was the van id stop give it a look over possibly put the spare on, get the wheel and anything that it attaches to cheacked
the shitter- carry on regardless
