just popped out to get paper heard this awful noise, then it came over the hill 3-5min later, live in 30mph must of been going 50mph, I went in shop, and he came in after me so had a good look, he was ruff looking, he came out got in and wheel spun off with the tyers screeching and booming sound from exhaust, said 3.0 mint green spoiler on roof and enough space to put the fat man under the rear with space.
