im going to see!!

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Many years ago I worked for an accident repair garage that had contracts for a couple of insurance companies and it wasn't unheard of (I saw 2 or 3 in the year I worked there) for a car to arrive with no steering wheel or a badly damaged one after some undesirable characters had hacked it off to steal the vehicle if it had one of those rubbish steering lock things on it. I had cause to move one and was passed a stilson to use. I wouldn't suggest it for every day use but to move a car around a yard it works well enough.

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
