first of all, I want to say I have sitting here p*ssin myself laughing at these posts......man made my night! some of the people we all know!!???

Here's a few I have heard...

These couple go back a while and are from the same guy. Ol' mate reckons
1)he has a Full Factory spec BMW rally car that drives around near his auntie's farm.
2)He also converted a bolt action .22 to fully automatic that fires an incredible 7000 rounds a minute, and he uses it too hunt rabbits.
3)He also reckons Darwin Stubbies are worth $10,000, and $15,000 if they are cold.
4)He was also a ninja in Vietnam with the Navy seals, and he was shot in the forehead during a fire fight


Some others....

A good mate of mine swore that a car with an auto couldn't do a burn out. he reckoned to do a burnout you had to have a clutch.

Another mate when he got his VN, when it was about 2 years old, said he couldn't do a burn out because his car had 4 wheel disc brakes and the traction control would cut in and stop the car. He also said he spent $4,500 on engine modification but "didn't bother with the computer or getting it tuned cause it didn't matter"

Another guy I used to know swore that in the mid 70's Ford made a special 4 speed C4 for bathurst that even the Ford pit crew didn't know about until they dyno'ed the car before the race and it shifted into 4th gear. When I asked about the gear shifter, he said, "nah it was an auto, like a T-bar"

Someone else I knew reckoned he put a stall converter onto a manual and turned it into a semi automatic, that he could use the clutch to launch at the drag strip, but change gears manully with no clutch.

When I was working for an engine parts supplier this guy came in to buy some stuff for his 308 HQ. HUGE Solid cam, lifters, 11;1 lumpys, moly rings, roller rockers etc, big holley etc. He said he was mating it to a 4200-4400 stally, 4.11 spooled 9" rear end. When I asked him what he was aiming for (in regard to times on the quarter) he answered " it all for the wife's car so she can take the kids to school"

the best one was this guy I know was building an engine and this plonker came in. He starting going on about the brand of pistons my mate was using. He said to plonker yeah they aren;t bad nothing to write home about. plonker said," no mate those STD pistons are best you can get. Everyone uses them!!"


cheers all, thanks for the laugh
