YOu know, you could probably have sold that stearing wheel for a fair chunk of money, I'm sure the quartic wheel became very sought after at some point
I remember my dad had one (a 1300 I think) and he ran it into the ground, it finally died at 170,000 miles, I think it was the new lifeforms bred in the wilderness of the leaky, and therefore perminently damp, footwell that kept it on the road for that long, what with their magical powers and all

Go away!

actually I think they did a runner next door and started manifesting themselves into a seat leon, and drove around the country looking for dodgy junctions to pull out onto and then stop.... Yes, that sounds about right!
