Smart Arse comments your friends make.
I was reminded recently of some of the funny comments friends have made about my driving or car related stuff over the years. One in particular from about 17 years back has always stuck in my mind. A friend and I were driving somewhere in a 46 Ford Pop Hot Rod I had at the time. It was a rough old thing and I was crashing through the knackered syncros in the 4 speed gearbox. My friend turned to me and said...
Friend: "It's just as well those gears are in a box!" Me: "Why?" Friend: "Cause if they were in a bag they would be all over the road by now!" It was pretty funny at the time. These kinds of smart arse remarks stick in my mind and remind me of good times long gone. I'm sure you guys have had similar experiences. Cheers |

Having felt an explosion under the bonnet of my XY while accelerating hard, I looked back to see a heap of fluid trailing behind us. I could have sworn I saw a piston gudgeon pin bouncing down the road behind us.
Fearing the worst, I walked back to where the fluid started on the road while a friend popped the bonnet. He leaned into the engine bay, and shouted out to me: If I can see the crankshaft from here, is that a bad thing? Ummm, yes it was :( A broken conrod punched a sizeable hole in the block, and tore the sump in half. The fluid on the road was all the oil and water that wsa in the motor at the time. My eye's weren't playing tricks on me either, as I found the gudgeon pin lying in the gutter. |
My Gashole buddies have never made a smart A$$ comment. :D :LOL: :D

I still like the comment I got when my 1972 toyota crown with a holden 186 in it threw number 6 rod out the side, after the car wouldnt start my mate said "looks like an electrical fault"
The only reason it was an electrical fault was the fact that number 6 rod had knocked the starter motor solenoid off. |
Ha ha!!! Boxhead, thats a good one. Your friend was right you know!
Ernie ...probably a GM engine, they seem to have a lot of "electrical" problems. LOL |
Assright U2!!:LOL:

Back in High School while teaching a friend how to drive stick, he threw my 1972 VW into reverse at 35mph. A short time later, reverse took a permanent vacation and I was force to search for downhill parking spaces and the like.
One day after school, a friend walks by as I am pushing my car out of it's parking space and asks, "Why are you pushing your car backwards?". "I have no reverse!" I say, to which he replys "Oh, was it an option you didn't get?". "No a@@hole, it once had reverse, it just doesn't anymore...". |
Jamo - does anything on this site go unnoticed by you?!? I can just picture it - each morning the successful lawyer goes into his office, and his secretary's first job of the day is to do a search on CC for any new threads containing the words, "Gasholes", "sheep", "Amy", "ass", or "Evan".....
That's likely to return enough threads to keep you going at least until lunchtime :LOL: |

Hi all, :3DSMILE:
Aussie Mike Your driving around in the Hot Rod prompts me to ask have you seen a bright a yellow 1937 Ford convertible around the eastern suburbs there? %/ Black canvas top. Steel wheels. Moon caps and really low ride height. :confused: This is my old car. I sold it to the glasser at Duece the guys who are now doing the Cobra bodies for Boyd Coddington. %/ It was not at the recent Hot Rod Nationals in Geelong but I was told there that it all around in the eastern suburbs still. In the late eighties I built a 1928 Ford roadster with a 289 tunnel ram twin. C4 and 9" disc brake rear. I sold it to a guy in Tasmania and he did a few improvements and it won some shows there. About six months ago it was For Sale in the Just World Cars Magazine for $45,500. Don't know where it is either now. :confused: It was Porsche guards red with black leather interior. You build them and sell them :confused: Cheers :3DSMILE: Bernie Bernie Knight Mt. Gambier South Australia Home of the famous Blue Lake :3DSMILE: Keep an eye out for it %/ Not much happening here. Have been working on the car and you have probaly seen the other Posts/Threads with my progress on the Cobra. :eek: Take care Cheers :3DSMILE: |
