So wrong, lol,  but I don't see why it wouldn't work for a wee bit?

Actually, looks like a done deal.  Car is on the island but rather than fuck around with trying to limp it home I am going to go over on Sunday and strip the life blood out of it and send what is left to the scrappers.  Anybody want to come?  I'm gonna post in the parts store///
