iv had a mate fill his corolla to the brim wif oil not even knowing he had a sump plug then drive 10mnz to my house in a wildly thik puff off smoke not knowing wat his problem was
Had a mate at work (panel shop) try and flash the highbeams at me as i walked past, right after he just unbolted and removed the headlights. Pretty sad. i laughed though.
Actually its the torque converter that acts as the flywheel in an auto. The flex plate really doesn't haven enough weight to store any significant amount of inertia. But I digress. My mate once asked me if his Holden nova was 2 stroke or 4 stroke, and wouldn't believe me when I told him that a Holden nova was just a re badged corolla.
well i had a guy walk into our showroom of imported jap cars and ask "are all these cars grey imports?" i just grinned, pointed to one and said "no mate, that one is green" "and that one over there is red" (as he is walking out it gets louder) "THAT ONE OVER THERE IS KINDA GREY, MOSTLY SILVER THOUGH, HEY MATE... OI, MATE...."
When the RX7 first came out, i was at a 24hr servo getting a quick feed, when this lovely little lass come over asking for help. It seems that she had borrowed her bosses brand new RX7, & when she pulled into the servo, it was making all sorts of strange noises. I strolled over for a look-see. I leant in the car & turned off the headlights..... no more noises! LOL She was gratefull.......but that's a story for another day.
Gravity! Many years ago, I was not happy with the paintwork on a F**d. It ended up with a F**d rep visiting the dealer to have a look. Anyhow, we ended up in a discussion on the use of an elcometer versus a balanced elcometer to measure paint thickness, as he was using an unbalanced elcometer horizontally. I actually had elcometer instructions, which showed how to use the different meters, including clear instructions that the model that he was using should only be used in the vertical plane. He was still not convinced so I tried to explain why it was so, namely effects of gravity. His "intelligent" response was that I was speaking rubbish as the workings were inside the meter, so gravity did not apply. That was the last new F**d that I bought, thanks to a dumb company rep.
