Hey guys,
Took Herbie for new shocks, and had a look underneath the car for the first time, this is the exhaust system:
What you guys make of it? And is this normal?

Other than that, it looks fine. Block off the holes in the tinware..

Merlin, what you mean by the engine has run out of oil, what makes you say that, I check the oil every time I use the car?
