I second that I'd be well pissed, hope it knocks out alright, motors coming along nicely tho mate

He probably drove into it with that stupid yellow diesel one with the crane on the back...
I went up there once, and he hooned it out of the garage, bashed the crane on the over-door-girder!
Firstly he nearly took the girder out of the wall, and secondly he did a massive wheelie!!!
