Only if they drop 50 litres of engine oil out. But don't worry cos when it happens the dealer will whisk it away in utmost secrecy for repairs before pics can be taken.....

My maxxum is wining at spannering attention.

It has done the most hrs on the farm in the last 6months but only because I won't let the apprentice drive anything decent.:D
