Post for you amusement.

The story is my brake pad fell out on the rear. I was at my parents when i noticed. Jon had a great idea of what to do to get me home as it was a sunday and no motor factors open.

Step 1 - before picture


Step 2 - Use of a bit of skirting board cut to size


Step 3 - Drive Home
