Sports cars aren't meant to be reliable.

And if they are, then they're doing it wrong! :lol:

I dare say the next car I buy will give me hassles, but that's sports car for you!

Diagnosed a blown head gasket on a mate's car with the help of lawso (contrary to assumptions - lawso didnt actually blow the head gasket, he helped us figure out that it was blown!)
I fix cars.
