Interior grab handle snapped!

Recommended Posts

So, I had a couple here today looking at a Focus Mk2. The old boy sat in the passenger seat and used the grab handle to hoist himself out and it snapped off. He said "it shouldn't have done that" I said "You're not meant to swing on it like a monkey?". But, I was actually surprised? Grab handles used to be pretty sturdy as I remember?

Talking about bonnet's about 7-8 years ago had a fiat seicento Michael Schumacher edition in bright yellow god knows what made me buy it may be it was the Schumacher name, anyway kid you not had a customer come to view it and asked to view the power train under the bonnet and still remember the look on his face as he opened the bonnet a cat jumped out at him:lol: it had found a new home on top of the engine, cat hair every where. Both had a laugh and joke about it and no he didn't buy it don't know why:lol:

I thought you get a few more Bhp by removing the Cat.

I thought If I could get one on Ebay for a fiver I'd be the cat that got the cream?

How wrong was I!

It would obviously have been a catastrophe!

Bearing in mind the engine bay is the size of a shoe box and had a lawnmower motor in it, I'm guessing it would have been a catastrophe
