Ming

indeed haha

the ones that were allegedly on my centos of the past.

just a force of habbit i carry a brick in all my cars now, lol, its came in hady many a time until the handbrakes been sorted., even then they work as a makeshift hammer if needed.

 

[ycming]

Yeah once sorted they do work amazingly. They worked a treat in auto-testing. I was actually surprised how strong they were!

yup, aided by the fact theres very little weight over the back wheels easy to lock them up and put the car into a nifty little handbrake turn

just a shame they dont stay like that all the time without a rebuild every so often, lol

 

[imported_abyss113]

honestly officer its my handbrake

Worked for Mr Bean.

Hell, he got away with an armchair on the roof of his car so I'm sure a wee brick will be ok!

lets just say it was an interesting discusion i had with the forensics team after the break in when they found the brick under the drivers seat

brick in car + broken window does not = method of entry. lol

oh, and its not a wee brick, its a full sized brick.

not good for fuel consumption, but bloody usefull!
