Go let his tyres down.

Wow! Is this the first pranged FK?

I've yet to see a non-dealer one on the road.

TTIUWP.

PS- next time borrow a Ridgeline & flatten his focking freeloader Austin Rover.

Nah it's a 54 plate, and it's not worth a pic as it's only a pushed in bumper in the corner.

And it's not a freeloader, it's a Suzuki Vitara. He's the freeloader, bludging a council house when he and his wife work and own two cars, and get to live in a
