I'll kick it off. Had a mate with a Series 3 Landrover, they have grille set well behind the front guards. I mounted a toilet pan right in the middle, bolted to the bumper. He approached vehicle from behind and went down town to the bank. Standing in the queue he looked out into the carpark and sees his Landrover therewith a dunny mounted to it. Had to stew in the queue while passers by laughed and looked around and then because it was properly mounted had to drive back to the workshop to a rousing reception from gathered staff and customers.I basked in that one for ages.

Told a friend that the cheap MX5 he was looking at would be a boring drive and make him look gay. Then snapped it up.

a mate left his bonnet unlocked so we opened it, took battery out and replaced it with a 9v battery and closed the bonnet. when he turned the key to acc, the lights came on but when he cranked, he flatted the battery.

Young and stupid.Back in the days when XS1100's were still a current model. Down at "a location in auckland" doing midnight drag racing on our bikes. MOT turn up to move us on. Snuck up behind the patrol car and gently eased a big ol potatoe onto/into the exhaust pipe. wandered off and four of us did a drag race at speed past the cop car. aparently it was pretty funny watching the cops trying to give chase then ultimately have the car towed away. On reflection a stupid idea.

Same Series 3 Landrover, I folded some aluminium strips and painted them matt black and slipped them over the wiper blades. A week or so later he was down in the township and unexpected heavy rain descended, he drove back with head out the window for visibility.drowned. Had the cheek to accuse me of vaselining his window. We all rolled about laughing.

I jacked up the back wheel on a mates Granada at a race meeting in the UK once. He was a race mechanic as was I. Went off to the hotel and was sitting down to dinner when "animal" ( he looked like the muppet of the same name) appeared. He pointed at me, swore,picked up a bread roll, thew it and started a huge bunfight that cost us all a lot of money. What I did not know was his car had a dodgy trans, he did not have a jack, and it took him about an hour to get the floor jack from his team transporter. I was filmed doing the deed by a third team who told lies about me.

Bridged out the indicator to the brake lights in their trailer plug. Whenever they braked indicator would come on and indicate brakes would come on. Took it out, then next week wired it up to the other indicator!

a mate had a fiat 500,The number of times we would pick it up and turn it sideways in a parking space, so he couldnt go anywhere til one of the cars on either side moved first. He must have got really tired of it, but we never did.

Had an apprentice sitting on a tractor after some one had removed one of the hydraulic blanking plugs from the top of the transmission area. He was instructed to give it full throttle and start it up. The resulting geyser between his legs was messy enough. But had he been sitting forward a bit on the seat he wouldnt be fathering any kids. The good old days. We got away with all sorts then.

Atleast oil in the radiator wouldnt be fatal just messy.I knew a girl, borrowed her flatmates ford laser which she had just bought.Flatmate told her to check the water and oil. She ended up filling the engine up with water and i mean so full it was coming out the oil cap.Then wondered why it wouldnt go.

While at school, I had a 1935 Austin 7, which had had the original engine replaced with a very much earlier engine, which was fitted with a magneto instead of coil and distributor.
One day, younger brother and I were in Riccarton, words had been somewhat heated, when we ran out of petrol.
I suggested he pop the bonnet, and hold onto a plug, to see if we had spark.
He finished up sitting against the fence the other side of the footpath.

A friend of mine told his silly blond sister that when she tops her oil up she has to take out the spark plugs and pour oil down the holes, silly cow did, filled the holes right up to the brim, needless to say the car failed to work for much longer.

So it was you!I never caught the b@st@rds at it. The only time I ever had a problem when people did that was if I was on my own, but as the car was such a chick-magnet, that seldom happened. The girls the car helped me pick up could usually open bottles of DB with their teeth and do other tricks as well, so I just gave them the heavy end, and we'd be on our way again in seconds.

Did some creative wiring to mate's HQ 20 odd years ago. It was done to me: I passed it on. About 2 metre length of semi-thick multi-stranded wire required. One end poked into one ignition lead that has been removed from the plug. The other end goes through the firewall, under the carpets and onto the driver's seat. Once there splice it back about 30cm and flay that thing into a big fan shape. Hide that splay of wire under the seat cover.
Idea is driver gets a 12 or 24v buzzzzzzzzz when car turns over, yells an obsenity and leaps out shaking right hand lol .like i did.
I'd just rebuilt his motor a few weeks prior so i suppose i can claim it was running pretty sweet. I'd set it up and forgot about it and went about my business. I later remembered and went out to see him sitting in his parked car, engine running (with only 5 sparking cylinders), and a perplexed and frightened look on his face. Every time he tried to turn off ignition -buzzzzzzzzz - every time he tried to get out of car (metal door handle) buzzzzzzzzzz. He'd been stuck in his electricity cage for at least 5 minutes and didn't LOL until much later.
