my mates ZJ fairlaine jumped the front wheel chocks when the chains
'somehow' let go
we reckon the guy just didn't chain it at all
anyways it flew straight out an open door, straight accross a busy road and
into the roller garage door of the shed accross the road and then somehow
managed to stall soon as it hit the door
the dyno operator had to pay for my mate to get a new bumper and a new paint
job, but the most expensive part for him was paying for the shed door across
the road to be replace
