Up until about 10 years ago all cars on West Coast roads were unwarranted and unregistered, I don't see what they are complaining about :lol:

Hmmm... I used to have two sacks of concrete in the boot of my car when I was at high school... looked pretty mean actually.

I would think that rocks would move around a bit, atleast the concrete set once the boot started to leak

Maybe the origin of the term "sacked"?

My GF's dad said back when he had a AW11 he put 2 bags of set concrete (rain damaged) into the front so it wouldn't float so much as speed etc

Aparently completely changed the car, then a decent front kit helped further.

a guy/munter came into work with a renault thing and we put some king springs in it for him and told him that it would settle a bit after a while. he decided that he might try and make it settle quicker by putting some concrete blocks in the back. He came in yesterday complaining that the car wasnt sitting level so we told him to come back today with the car. he brought the car in and the side of the car that was sitting lowest had a bigger chunk of concrete in it :roll:

My brother in law had 150 kilos of lead bolted to his ute tray to keep traction after he put a supercharged 5l into it
