    "Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.

    LOL! Actually, the dirt disguises the damage if nothing.

    I was turning onto Parra Rd and was checking out an A3 cabriolet at the lights and BANG, took the island too close. It sounded so bad that I thought it collected the sideskirt. Plus it could be my imagination but I think its thrown the front wheels out of alignment as I need to keep it turned slightly left when driving. Ever heard of that?

    thats what i mean, the dirt disguises it, would be interesting to see it washed so we can see just how scratched it really is

    wheel alignment mate, it does happen, just knocks it out a little
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    hoe much does it veer left?
    like is it really quick, cos im pretty sure most allignments allow it to veer left slightly, over a long distance.
    so if you fall asleep at the wheel youre not going to kill someone coming in the opposite direction, just yourself on a tree Click here to enlarge
