Looking at some of the really rusty projects on here, I realise that "scrapped" cars over here can really be saved

Get in to your insurance and get to do it properly. Be prepared to fight though

No way, exact same thing happened to me last night. He had the spread rate turned way up. I don't remember ever getting sprayed that bad. Was raging!

firstmini
Ha ha. He was a complete idiot, knew I was there and pulled out as I was next to him-dread to think if I'd hit him at 50mph I'd be in trouble so would he!

Correction - if he'd hit me!
