US needs an MOT.

That looks like it may have been sat up for a few years and someone is trying to get it roadworthy?

Can't see the problem myself, looking at the state of that there is probably a hole in the drivers footwell to put your feet through to slow you down :shock:

Judging by the halo-like way the outer rims of the discs have stayed in place, perhaps it's blessed.

ha ha,

notice the cut and the grinding marks on the hub
someones done it for a laugh,

also if you look through to the other side you will notice the other disc is in good nick
surely if one side wouid of rusted away the other en wouid have too,

theres alot of metal on a disk to rust away it wouid take years for one to rust through surely :?

i have reversing sensors and a towbar, i like the towbar because at my dads house there is some rubbish drivers who cant park at all and if i tuck my car in behind the man who owns the new volvo (a careful driver) then i know the front of the car is safe, the back of the car is safe because of the towbar. i went out to it one day and found the neighbours zafira implanted into my towbar, it left a crack on his bumper but nothing on my car.
