We had to move the Van Thing so we could put our new engine in.
Andy used his Merc Van to tow me and he had one of those short tow bars, cheep thing.
He started of like he was on a RAC Rally and when you cant see in front only his van I was crapping myself, we got up to a modest 30MPH on some very narrow road here in Wales, My fingers were nearly embedded in the stearing wheel when the brake lights came on I slammed my brakes on but just slid in to the rear side of his Van. after shouting at him to "slow down", that was lost in translation. Before i knew what was happening we were of again at 30MPH. This time my arse was griping the chair with all its might, and I was in the brace brace position I was waiting for the brake lights to no avail this time I bent and broke his straight bar and slammed in to him full on.
the Damage to the Van Thing is we might need a new Bumper and a Number Plate but my nerves are shot so when Andy drives our van on the Mongol Rally I'll rap myself in a mattress and hope for the best
