Just seen this!
It was at least 5 mph. The only way yours could be written off is if a meteor hit the garage it hides in.

No ta. Never appealed to me really. Maybe it's the noise, like a Fred Dibnah traction engine manouving that puts me off.
There should be enough fun in the wet for me with an open I recon.

I assume you're referring to mine? It turns out that the rattling noise is a CV joint with more slop in it than a dogs bowl.
Yeah it's a bit jerky etc when parking/tight corners, but it more than makes up for that when you leit it fly! lol - and in the snow.
Fancy coming to some DWYB days with us this year mate? The you will see your open diff of fail in all it's glory.

LOL.
Bit rich from a chap who bought a plastic car,kept it that long that it's for sale due to rust
Along with the fact he bought a 305 boat anchor when all he had to do was put on his glasses and get the correct 350
