Bottomed out after a brilliant drive to Poole from Bath.
(Was over taking a motorbike on a rather windy day)
Hit a rather big bump heard a bang looked into the rear view mirror to see a shower of sparks fall behind me!!!
bet the motorcyclist had a good view
Quality run all the way there and back, the tiv ran faultlessly.
What motorings all about

Sommat like that! Grounded the exhaust and the manifold took a pasting!

The ones on the car are the original factory fitted jobs, which have been patched and welded... so they're being replaced with stainless ones... as long as a bolt doesn't decide to snap!
