onto the subject

blew a hole in the side of the cav's engine,

made a bmw start knocking a little and smoke a lot

frazzled a gearbox on a mondeo

had a 1.2-8v corsa start knocking a tiny bit

buggered a fiat panda gearbox

cracked a audi 80's engine block

blew the h-g on a 1.1 metro, "drove it once for half a mile to do that"

think thats about it

That was fun...
