Had a clapped out 100E ???Defect??? many, many years ago. I fitted a capillary tube from the inlet manifold through a Schroder solenoid valve to a bottle of Redex petrol additive. The result was instant dense white smoke at the push of a button. Laid a few cloud banks up Queen st and filled many a dairy up with pea soup!

well if you went to school in Welly, then maybe it was. We probably only picked on you cause you had all the girls, and a cool wee car with a radio and a sunroof no less.

when i was younger had a old guy 48-50 yrs at work who use to pick on the younger guys 16-20yrs would give us all the worst possible jobs cause he was a lazy fat f**k, anyway we all decided to pay him back by placing fresh dog sh*t under all his door handles on his car so when he went to lift the handle crap went all over his hand ( he never worked out who did it ) he wasnt happy

A friend of mine used to work in a petrol station, a good prank in my old corolla wagon was to back up to the doors, pull the choke right out, and rev the crap out of it - filling the gas station up with stinky black petrol fumes.Strange that everyone else thought it was funny but he didnt. The other standard joke is to hit the horn when someone is working under the bonnet - had it done to me once (air horns) - was almost a messy end to a friendship !

in class at tech, honing our brazing/gas welding skills. there was always someone who would come along and quickly pull the rod out from between our fingers. with its red hot ends removing your finger prints off the tips of your fingers as it came through them.

A truck driver at work told me of a good trick. Pour some diesel into the muffler of someones car. After driving for a while it starts to heat up and smoke pisses out the exaust.

My uncle was a citroen mechanic-he used to love the little *quirks* asosciated with cits-LOL 2 favourite tricks of his were popping round to other apprentices garages and backing the ole cit's rear wheels over the pit-poor apprentices see the wheel go down and back up again. And saying !Think me rear brakes aren't working-mind if i slip er up on ya hoist!. mmmkay no weight on rear wheels=no brakes. mmkay brakes don't work-let's nail it hard for the wall and lock er up-while unsuspecting apprentice has no idea.LOL

Had an EH Holden come into where I worked with stripped wiper gears. Sent the apprentice to Mr Geddes (top of Queen St on the corner and his no 492. Remember the ad) for some new teeth and he went!
