'The car gradually picked up momentum. It left the drive and rolled down the grassy slope, picking up speed as it headed for the river at the bottom. "Awwwww no," I groaned, but I hadn't seen the incinerator.'
Yikes! How is Davin ever going to pay his mum back for destroying her car? The odd job business sounds like a sure-fire winner. It's a great plan that turns into a hilarious and hairy adventure involving wild dogs, a frisky stallion, putrid green sheep and a couple of dodgy characters called Oil and Scuz.
It's too much for anyone to handle!
