Default Superyob Tuesday...

It’s superyob Tuesday again and I have an important question I need answered. I know someone who is a mate of mine who wants to impress the parents of this young girl he has his eye on. The problem is that he has a leaking main seal. Now here is the important part. Should he use a modern vulcanised round rubber seal or should he go a bit old school and use a rope type seal. His friends all think that he will be less of a man because there is only 7000 kms on his c(l)ock and rubber is the way to go. He is convinced however, that rope is the way to go as it will make more smoke when he is operating it...

What do you guys think?

Tell him forget about impressing the girl, life will be cheaper and easier without her

I think you should make a new thread up every couple of days. We could call it the Superyob Seinfield thread. The thread about nothing..............

If he wants to impress the parents, tell him to leave the car at home and visit them wearing an AMG jacket.

Don't worry what her parents think of you. If they give you any Lip, just ''drag them out the back and throw them off the balcony''.

Somethings wrong here, leaking main seal, only 7K on it and trying to impress a young girls parents?

I'm suspecting its been around the clock a few times and is looking to become a sugar daddy ;)
If this is the case, go the modern round rubber seal otherwise they might find the rope seal finishes up around his neck...

No seal altogether. It might be a bit messy and potentially dangerous, but it's definately the way to go. Her parents will appreciate the old fashioned approach

IMHO, if he wants to impress the potential outlaws , he needs to swap his current ride for a Low Kay BAGT , after all , it's what everyone else thinks that counts right...

The outlaws will see that he is right into cars that will potentially accrue in value and will let him court their daughter. They just aren't allowed to look inside the cabin as they will see he only has 5 gears and not 6 and that could jeopardise everything...

Just do what an ex of mine did. rock up in a Panelvan. It sure left an impression. I'm sure my mum was pleased. In a gritted teeth kinda way. Then ditch the panelvan for a motorbike with P plates.

Its important to note that the leak didn't exist at the 6999 km mark.

Does that main real seal stuff actually work?

If someone has used it with good results ... let me know.

How does it work?

Hey you never know... It could block the 'leak' of excrement that tends to dribble out of some people's mouths?

Thicker seals last longer than thin ones, and won't perish quickly when the wrong oil is used.
But you will have to look hard to find one, they're not available at some parts stockists.
