No, but I'd imagine that'd f*cking hurt if it came back and twated you on the hand ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

I'm good at breaking auto tensioners it would seem the two cars i've touched this month Mine and an A4 bust the pair  Easy to do they are only cast and if the tools not in properly you're asking for it. To make you fel better on the Clio i punched the head while in full swing on it when it let go  It f*cking hurt________________________________________  RIP Pete Sims |
