My staffies can be hilarious with their antics. When the dog was a puppy he would steal my spanners and hide them in the garden, problem was I was usually under a car using them at the time. I would put them down next to me and he would sneak in, take the spanner and bugger off, causing a lengthy chase scene like something out of the Benny Hill show.
Another war story which didn't happen directly to me but I watched it was when the rear passenger side wheel came off a blown RX3 on my mates dyno at full revs. The owner threw the wheels on that morning after a 'red eye' on the car and forgot to tighten the nuts. Wheel absolutely shot off the car and went straight through the workshop, disintegrated the fibro wall on the dunny and went through the weatherboard exterior wall and still had enough inertia to bounce across the road. Luckily no-one was hurt, but the drums on the dyno were destroyed by the brake rotor hitting them Expensive little lesson, that one. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Bob Sent: Friday, 24 May 2002 10:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re[2]: War Stories Hello Brad, HAHAHA!
