Re: Accident. No SOS or airbag 🤕

Re: And it’s goodnight from him….

Re: ST driver, Local idiot.

We had our own Puma idiot in Chelmsford, not sure if it was stolen or what the story was but the 23 plate Puma came off pretty well as the bungalow has a bad crack in it https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2023-07 ... lice-chase

Re: This close to getting my Puma...

Good luck, I can’t see any reason at all why they wouldn’t do that for you, customer is always right!
