Not just the wheel; the whole assembly - brake disc, caliper, hub & stub axle, all in one... Just a flesh wound.... 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted July 22 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22 My friend referred to his Allegro as 'All aggro'. Other friend's Vauxhall Chevette was called the 'Shove it'. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted July 22 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22 I loved my Allegro, all £80 of it, started it with a hair grip (lock had been crowbarred off by the police when the previous owner lost her keys). The brakes didn't work and it was an awesome experience going over 50mph in it. Sold it for £50 with no life changing injuries to report.
