i was checkin my connections in the engine bay while holding up the bonnet , then all of a sudden got electricuted from one hand across my chest then out the other hand ended up i had touched the coil and got zapped like a bitch missus thought it was funny, thought i only burnt myself! what sorta volts do these things crank out?

up to 40,000 volts or so.

40,000 according to another website but you haver to watch out for amperage as thats the killer

I did a stupid thing the other day on the dyno tuning my vlt was going really well till i got to 4500rpm when there was a suden lean out n miss, had me ****ed i went over everything injectors, plugs, leads, dissy, cas, fuel pumps.... Ended up forgeting i set the rev limiter (fuel cut) to 4500 before for going to the dyno. I couldnt beleive it wasted a hour an a half and felt like a compleat fool! Have to be my stupidist thing ive done so fare lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nice one!

The most ****ed up and stupidest thing happened to me today. I just got my car back from the panelbeaters (fixed/resprayed). Looks so much better then it did before. Anyway... I hadnt drove the VL in so long and thought I'd give her a test up the road and back. Not knowing that the bonnet springs and latches had been takin out by the panelbeaters, the bonnet flew up, bent the **** out of the cowel panel and cracked my windscreen on both sides. This happened within 10 minutes of getting her home after such a long wait!! I just really feel like dying right now. Another 1K I will have to fork out.

If I left something out of a job at work, and it resulted in damage like that.. my boss would kill me. I'd also recommend not taking it back to the same panelbeaters..

in my old VL hooked up the two rocker cover breather hose's to a sealed catch can whilst going to get a vic roads inspection, Lets just say pressure built up and the hose/clamp gave way at the rocker cover and left a few oil stains upon the engine bay! Nice!

this morning i cut my finger pretty deep with a stanley knife (cut the nail in half straight down the middle). i was trying to cut the strut bar to chassis rubber bushes out to replace them. got them out but shed a lot of blood lol

nah can't really be stitched cos of where it is so i've just got it wrapped up. apparently the nail will grow out eventually

He wasn't working on a car (I think he was making targets for their gun club?) but my workmate's brother shot himself through his left hand with a nailgun today. Second time in a couple of months! Pulled his own hand off the wood and then pulled the nail out.
