The guy only wanted 20 quid for it too! Oh we who are older and wiser and survived broken steering columns!
The best comparison to having an A7 seems to be belonging to a bicycle-racing club. A friend and colleague does and tells me about going down a steep hill with a bend and the guy next door suddenly getting a wobble on. It transpires one of his front fork legs has broken, then, so does the other one too! Bike and rider sail over the hedge, only to re-appear (the rider anyway), in one piece, laughing.
The other time is when several riders stop at the traffic lights (some don't) and the second holds on to the first, to stop undoing his toe clips. Then the third and fourth etc, etc, until the weight can no longer be supported and they all fall down in a big heap!!
