mattiekane Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 That's epic for all the wrong reasons!!Loud pipes save lives
stuartie Posted May 1, 2019 Author Posted May 1, 2019 One of the boys even said to him give me a shout when you're at the door and I'll guide you on but the lad thought he knew better and tried to go on himself although he has never driven over a pit before ππ
savage bulldogs Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 I feel his pain .... I had a old skool mini with a 1.3 metro lump on twin carbs , needed the rear roseΒ bushes doing and you need a hydraulic press to get them out . There was a little garage over the road , so I dropped it off at 8am ... 820 am I get a knock on the door ,Β garage owner was standing there π€ " theres been a accident , I can't explain it , better pop over and have a look for yourself "Β I left my mini parked over the inspection pit and the had been working on a v6 Granada parked behind it . Their apprentice had been blipping the throttle on the Granada,Β while the mechanic was at the back trying to locate a exhaust blow .... Boy clipped the auto gear stick while revving it , it shot forward , hit my mini with such force that it leapt over the pit .hit the work bench and bounced back , then fell in the pit . Poor thing was about a foot shorter and one side was caved in too . My Mini mini was fubared π

Jay762 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I would have been gutted if I had done that but i always try and take care of my gear, prefer to spend money upgrading and maintaining not repairing - was lucky no-one was in the pit
