Had an old Volvo come in my shop once many years ago with 12 unused .22 rifle bullets filling the 12 fuse holders.

Rewired that car completely!

For the truckies.

I, as a first year, was sent to get a "Diff Lock" key. I went to my workshop coordinator and asked for it.

He handed me a an odl beat up key and said, "Give this to the tuggers", and when I did, they looked at me weird, but never asked me to go find dumb ***** again.

I pretended to have a problem measuring around a 60cm pipe with my tape measure. I asked the apprentice to go to the tool room for a circumsizing tool. His old man was going to rip my head off when he found out. No sense of humour.

[jamies]

Told an apprentice once to go to the store and get a 'can of sparks'..

I often tell the younger guys that us oldies use to do up our cars with turbo charged door handles & high compression tail lights. It's amassing how often they reply with "can you still get them ?". Idiots.

Some of my so called friends would also say the same.

Some guy at highschool was trying to be a know-it-all, so we decided to be 'roosters' to him.

Us: "So your old man's car... got a V9?"
Him: "YEAH of COURSE!"
Us: "AH yeah my old mans only got a V8... but he's got tripple quad cams"
Him: "Yeah he's got them too!"
Us: "Ah ok but does he run a reverse double pump and anti-surge plug?"
Him: "Yeah man he's got like everything done to it bro,, does phat skids"

... idiot....

You can relate anything to The Simpsons.

There is only one...








"Hi-Clone"....

[Papa Smurf]

1. A two ton 1 tonner
2. Glass hammer
3. Chaser wheels
4. Uni Joint for a Qantas Jumbo

[2011G6E]

The "2 tonner 1 tonner" did exist and was sold by Holden for a while...

Can't find any of the old print advertisements online anywhere unfortunately, but they do pop up for sale now and then...

And here's a better pic of one...

The anacanafanatan that connects to the triantiwonti gongolope. Will fix nearly anything!

Not all "fake and made up car mods" are actually imaginary...some are a physical object that empties peoples wallets. (and yes, I'll say "HiClone" again)

Shamefully, I must admit I once spent good money...about $40 when I was only taking home $200 a week...on a "spark enhancer" that a guy at the local show was selling. He had a then fairly new WB Statesman (this was back around 1982 when I had just started drivingbut obviously my common sense hadn't developed sufficiently yet )) with a 308 in it.
The "spark enhancer" was a cylindrical object, plastic, finned on the outside, and with a male connection sticking down from the base and a female connection at the top. The way it "worked" was to remove your coil lead, plug this thing into the top of your dizzy, then plug the coil lead into that. That was it. No extra energy in, so by the laws of physics it can't work to make your spark "bigger".
He had a very impressive setup of a glass box with a sparkplug sticking into it and a dark background (to see the spark gap), and he had a power box with a spark plug lead going to the plug in the top of the box. He would turn it on, and it would spark away regularly like a spark plug does, and then he would turn it off, put on the "spark enhancer" and turn it on again. WOW! The spark was much bigger! Amazing! Shut up and take my money!!!! He was doing a roaring trade.

Of course, none of us considered that perhaps the switch he turned on was a two position switch, with a weak spark for the pre-fitment of the magical device display, and another with a stronger spark output for after he fitted the device...


From magical fuel economy pills to go in your tank (which financially almost took down a government minister here in Queensland many years ago), water into fuel devices, underbonnet home made hydrogen generators, and so-on, the ingenuity of scammers is only matched by the gullibility of a public little versed in what actually goes on inside an engine and ignorant of the basic laws of physics...

What about chrome krazmolical crackle pins?

Chrome, because they look better.
Krazmolical, the name of the bloke who invented them.
Crackle, the sound they make.
Pins, well yeah, I suppose that’s what they are.


Back in the late eighties when I was an apprentice, I was servicing a Mack V8 (E9 500) and had a work experience kid working with me.

For those who don’t know these engines, they had a 54 litre sump. Once the three new oil filters were on, I told the work experience kid to fill the engine up with oil.

He did… until the oil was running out the rocker cover.
