Managed to stop a Range Rover made him turn round and go back truer t losing us he was nearly out of diesel and if he was to turn round we was to pay to fill the motor up for him told him to f**k off or held inch steel cables would fall from 60/70 ft onto the car soon turned round lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
