A case of too many burgers messing up your motor?

I dare admit that i was was getting myself a meal as well (albeit a fish sandwich and a coffee), but perhaps a case of too many burgers overloading your front-end?

And the close up:

Thinks to himself..

"the suspension probably trying to self level" and that's going to cause a fault... URGhhh

Anybody who has had a P38 RR will understand.

I know this MD, Dublin 13. If you look at the ground you can see at what point the suspension gave up and how far it was dragged.

Common enough occurrence?..

Note to myself:
"No P38 RR's for myself, ever"

P38s are grand, but I would want to pay very little for them. Suspension failing - yes at there age is common. However it's a easy fix if you think about it and have a laptop and a few tools.

Regarding this issue, I'd say thats one serious problem. I'd be happy it only happened in MDs and not on the open road.

So THAT's what happens when you ignore the instructions & go over the yellow line!!

Was thinking that myself. Better it happening at 2mph than at 60+.
Those SUV drivers sure do hum along at some speed!

It probably gave up rounding the corner into that drive through lane. Couldn't turn with the stress of a full on turn into the corner.
