Hit a massive boulder in a transit while on holliday in devon. Some little bastards had put it right in the middle of the road halfway round a corner......
I hit it doin about 45mph and it absolutly obliterated the engine/gearbox drive shaft and rear axle. Managed to limp it to the nearest house (3miles) with one engine mount and some wires holding everything together.
Paid £200 for it and ended up swaping it for a 2.3 turbo volvo estate that the owner of the house i pulled up at had. Thay were the best old people i have ever met.
Couldnt belive it wen he sed i could have the volvo i about died. No one ever swaps a perfectly good volvo for a van thats fooked.
