Re: steering

last year on christmas day the ignition switch caught on fire, every time i turned ignition on it smoked so couldn't drive it until i got a new one a couple of days later from scrappy. not really serious or expensive. luckily nothing else was melted but i had a fire extinguisher in the car. just the hastle of going to scrappy and getting towed home etc.

fit a manual rack, it wont happen again and you get more feedback from a manual one.

Had a fight with my mum one year and drove to my girl friend's on Christmas eve with the right hump. Had a bad case of lead foot and took a corner too fast and drove in to a tree. Had to limp up the M1 to her house to where the car died and had to be transported back to Milton Keynes. Not the best Christmas I had. Christmas was always a good excuse for a fight in our house.

Re: steering

mate you can drive it without PAS, I drove my Cally Turbo home without it last weekend. just avoid having to make any tight manouvers. once your moving it makes no difference anyway.

Re: steering

On my 18th birthday an old codger wrote my car off. Last Xmas eve I came home to find my car windscreen put through and a couple of years ago I was heading out on the piss for new years eve and randomly started garden hopping, to which i fell and severely sprained my ankle. Most special occassions turn out bad for me mate!
