I had the same view of mine a few weeks ago when the drive shaft snapped! The extra 35 quid for breakdown cover with my insurance was well worth it!

Whats up with it mate?? not too serious I hope??

I thought it would cheer you up to know that there were others in the same boat.

I'll add to the tale of woe, took the cerb in for a 12000 mile service and nitrons, it has come back with a fix it list filling an A4 sheet of paper yikes Saw it today up on the ramp looking very sorry for himself. 23 hours work and not much change from 4k and it should be back on the road within a couple of weeks looking and driving like new bounce

And look at the weather irked typical rolleyes

They sure do.Just a note to other potential owners.Get used to the pictures above.Because at some point it will happen to you.A Cerbera without a flat bed is like a foot with out a big toe,or arm with out a hand,or a pair of balls without c*....etc.etc.etclaugh

I have had Audi, VW, Range Rover and many others. Most of the cars I have had over the years have been on a flatbed

I guess I must be unlucky as far as cars are concerned. I really think I have made a serious error now
