Well THERES your problem... Your flux capacitor has short circuited, so once you've hit 88mph it's tried to send half the wheel back to 1975. Since it couldn't, it's just gone and f**cked it, utbnb style.
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

Check your fuses, and if that's no good - run your error codes.

Glad no one was killed mate, count yourself lucky 8O

Hopefully they'll reconsider it as a write-off, something tells me that probably won't happen though.

Got a call from the insurance company today. The repair has been delayed a further 2 weeks (Now due on the 25th of May) because of a paint job issue.. That puts it at an expected 8 weeks to repair.. Balls.
