Erlier tonight i was having a nice BBQ in the middle on nowhere on top of a hill called Burton Dasset setting fire mostly ^_^ and shouting at chavs on mini motos anyway after the bbq my friend has never been in my mini so i desided to drive round the dasset hills over grass and every thing, jumping stuff, going up banks etc anyway i decided to go up a slope which was a tad too veritcle and bottomed out...glad i have my RAC style sumgaurd except that didnt help my exhaust it got pushed back bending the mount on my rear subframe pulling it away from my manifold:'(
i knew exactly what happened as soon as i heared the roar, has happened a "few" times before on mine and friends minis usualy i have my tools in my car except were at my friends house so i was just like woo...in the end i let my exhaust hang down but tied it up using an old towel so the link pipe didnt drag on the floor.
i had to drive back from middle of nowhere like that, sounds so cool though and on over run shoots flames out manifold :D naturaly i decided to drive around town for a while eeeevery 1 was looking rather funny aaah theres 1 over bad point iv got work tomorrow morning and now dont realy have a way to get there
