Top Toyota
I was called out yesterday by a lady who informed me that she was the proud owner of a 1988 Corolla that had been in her garage for 3 years solid without ever having been turned over and could I come and get the old chariot on the road. Needless to say I approached the job with some degree of trepidation and fully armed with enough Snap-On gear to start a shop. When I opened the garage to my dismay the motor was buried underneath what appeared to be Steptoes junkyard. Afer clearing away the debris I popped the bonnet and whacked in a charged up battery, jumped in the car,turned the key and after about three revs it gave an almighty cough and fired up. Wot a result! The only problem I had was seized on rear brakes where the handbrake had been applied during it's confinement. I reversed out the garage and shot down the local gas station to stick some air in the tyres and it went like s**t off a shovel. Is this a record or do you know different?

How much did you owe it Wrex. Go to the corner and write 500 times "owned has an "n" in it. Sorry mate couldn't resist it.
