parrot Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 What, you get to wash it for its very fortunate owner? Quote
Redwarf Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 The washing part is certainally worth it for being able to get it dirty. :) Quote

carbonboy Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 This isn't so much a WMMH post as a What Makes Me Laugh post. My housemate has an E-series (EF I think) Falcon with a good engine but the auto box is shagged. He recently acquired another complete car, engine's dead but the gearbox was rebuilt less than a year ago. A simple matter of swapping the two over. I neglected to volunteer to help as a) helping tends to very quickly turn into doing all the work, b) his mates have done this before (apparently), c) I have my own $h1t to do & d) I'm an engine-over-drive kinda guy. Despite me having spent the week cleaning up the shed so they have a sheltered place with a concrete floor to work on, they jacked the car up in our dirt driveway with storm clouds looming on the horizon. He & his four mates started on the parts car gearbox removal at about 2pm on Saturday, I got home from my parents at about 7:30pm, the tailshaft was out but the gearbox was still in the car & the buggered one hadn't been touched.....five grown men.....five hours..... I made the observation that this was a bit of a poor effort & was told that things are "in control", a forklift is coming tomorrow..... I made the point that if a forklift is involved in removing a gearbox, things are not in control..... The next morning, I was working on BT while they slept off the effects of the three bottles of booze consumed the previous evening when at about 9:30am, bugger me if a forklift didn't show up on the back of a tilt tray. Not that this really mattered, by the end of Sunday, both gearboxes were STILL in their respective ORIGINAL positions. I make no claims to be a mechanic, but JFC, some people should be called spanners, not let near them. I'm getting the feeling that I may just end up doing the job for him, so that he can see how helpful his 'mates' really are & so I can have shed space back. Quote
coln72 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Maybe they should of forked both the Fords onto the flat top and dropped them of at the scrap metal yard :P Quote
carbonboy Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Would have been the best use of everyones time that's for sure. I did also mention (many, many times) prior to parts car acquisition that for the money spent on all this & other repairs, he could buy a Corolla, roadworthy & register it. When someone has the criteria for a car of "cheap to run" & "reliable" & ignores a standard Corolla as an option...I give up. Quote
coln72 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Shame it's soooo hard to find a decent rwd Rolla. Quote
