# nice one!
I've got an '87 Scala 1.8; it's not in too bad nick but would cost waay too much to bring it back to it's former glory, so may as well just focus on making it run well!

# I think it's been rolled at least once in it's lifetime...
. the driver's side a-frame hase been bowed-out slightly and there are scrapes accross the roof; still it runs without any probs!

# I totalled mine on the M1 going north by Scratchwood Services
Full 360 and backwards into the crash barriers.


In rush hour traffic.
Walked away with only mild whiplash. I owe my life to that car.

# Very true,
The rear end was nearly 2 foot shorter afterwards, and the wheels completely shunted, but I was still able to drive it into the services.

:'( My trusty steed.

# Thank you, mate.
Having a bit of a moment here, apologies.

I'll never forget the view through the windscreen of three lanes of oncoming traffic. Jesus, that was fucking scary.
