my next door neighbours niece crashed her car into a kerb and thought it would be a good idea to get towed home.the wheel didn`t turn and was 2 miles to her house.

Bloody hell, that's just plain stupid! Some people are just absolutely clueless
Certainly a novel method of having the discs skimmed though...... |

she lost it on a corner,hit the kerb and then it wouldn`t drive,i think she panicked and got one of her friends to drag her home.best of all her uncle`s a mechanic and could have probably got it rolling if she just dumped it at the side of the road. nuts |

I suppose I should be grateful that the people who recovered my car only scratched the alloys |
