I drove 180kms on really poor roads in a remote corner of Northern Kenya with a broken leaf spring tied together with a ratchet strap.

The stone had gone by the time we got home so it was replaced with a piece of wood.

The wood is still there now, I did mean to get a new mount welded on but don't seem to have got round to it yet!!  :oops:

Reminds me of the time I had a front end crunch in my old Rover 216. All the plastic bolt mounts were smashed off the headlight so I wedged it back in place with a block of wood. All was well and good till MOT time came. I took the car to one of those big 'MOT while-U-wait' places.

They sat me down with a coffee in room with a window looking out over the workshop. I was watching the guy doing the MOT as he came to adjust the headlight. He stood back, scratched his head then called his mate over. Then they called foreman over. All three of them were stood round looking at my poor headlight on its block of wood and laughing!

The car passed the MOT and strangely- not a word was said about the wood!
