Design flaw

[Mick Dempsey]

My first car, which I wrote off in 4 hours, was a 1725 Hillman Hunter.

That was lucky.

My dad didn’t think so as he had just sold it to me and I hadn’t paid for it.

Did your dad strike you off his will after that?

[Mick Dempsey]

I sold it to the tow truck man in exchange for the tow back to my village, he took the engine out and put it in a Sunbeam Alpine or something.

 

My Dad literally never forgave me, he had it for 7 years, looked after it like a beloved child, I took it for an afternoon and he never saw it again.

I approached the roundabout outside of Horsham and thought I’d do a Dukes of Hazard with the back end out, ended up losing control and stoving it into a lamp post.

This was 1985 by the way.

He didn’t leave me out of the will.

All's well that ends well.

My Kangoo car failed it's 'control technique' because a rear bulb had blown.

In my Kangoo van, the back of the lights was easily accessible.

Not so in the car version with all the interior trim.

After studying a Youtube video, it took me several hours to remove and replace the rear bumper and exterior plastic body panels to gain access to the light and change the one faulty bulb.
