well as i had a day off, the sun was out, my astra finally has had it tyres sorted which means they dont need constant topping up, i thought id go for a drive and explore some new lanes.
then on the way back thought it sounded a bit louder than usual but carried on anyway until i got home and found this
yep ive lost my back box

the roads (i use the term losely) were very bad. full of gravel, grass growing done the middle and some big bumps, so im not suprized that i had some damage. just didnt think id lose any parts though.
when i saw the pics i thought some cheeky tosser has nicked your box until you said youve lost it lol
oh well, **** happens as they saybut can you not go back down where you think you lost it to see if you can find it? or did you already do that?

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
well i thought it was a bit louder (not that much louder though) but put it down to driving through a high banked wooded area (when i first noticed) so then i just turned the stereo up a bit higher and sang along to guns and roses. lmao lmao
Not that i'm against guns 'n' roses but I'd still rather have found my back box.lmaolmao
I really didn't think your driving was that bad.

Done that before now.
I did it in my old Green GSI quite often, the backbox used to regularly slip off the pipe where it passed over the rear beam, so when it came loose the tailpipe touched the bumper and it was just held by the rubbers, the pipe into the back box would then sit near the floor (to the extent a mate that I went screwing one past on the way to college said there were sparks from under the car! lmao). It would be about an inch clear typically though.
Then I went to pull into the car park at college, decided to go over the speedbump slowly due to the clearance with that backbox pipe yet it literally dug in and as I went forward the car physically lifted up as it used the back box as a pole vault, snapping one of the rubbers and spinning the back box 180 degrees, so that I could go through the carpark going 'KKKKKKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKK' dragging the ****ing thing behind me. lmao lmao lmao
I looked the don in front of all the young bucket quimmed ho's.

my backbox has come off the golf 3 times too (lucky all at low speeds) and once on the tank when i went over a rubber square thingy in a asda car parkalthough the one when it happen on the volvo was scary as the whole car shot upwards and there was a huge bang...i imediatly thought "**** there goes my prop" as the exhaust span up an hit the floor
i tell you, its not easy trying to drive a 2.5 ton car up hills and tryiing to keep it under 2000 rpm's...i think we all know how loud a car with a 4-2-1 mani is if there is nothing past the downpipe lmao
