Dumbest thing I ever did was burning the back of my neck while trying to fix a mates VL. Leaned over to see if the starter motor was hooked up correctly and my necklace touched the positive terminal and earthed out. Instant 500 degrees. Stood up in shock with my skin burning and within an instant my reflex was to rip the necklace off. Unfortunantly the necklace was quite thick so pulling on it made the burns worse but I couldn't brake it off. Still have a scar on the back of my neck and that happened about five years ago...

Yer ive seen that happen with 240v, not nice!

My old man's told me about the time he forgot to put the sump plug back in before pouring the new oil in. He realised what was going on when he was standing in a whole lot of oil Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

a guy i know was set to go on a road trip so he decided to do check his water and oil, filled the radiator with water, that was ok, then spent god knows how many hours pouring oil in to his car via the dip stick hole, till it was "full", calls me the next day, "mate my car's not going right",

Couldn't undo a bolt down on the inlet side, old mate *I put this bolt before my health comes in* And gets the bolt, it lets go with a jolt. Busts his knuckles on the engine and with the sudden force lifts his head, the bonnet falls, cracks him in the head and all I can do is say.. Did you get the bolt?

once put in a brake pad the wrong way around at work Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

also at work our car washer picks up alot of the customers etc.. they asked him to pick up a overheating car and asked him 2 poor some water into the radiator before leaving, so he takes the engine cap of and poored water until it was full then drove back 2 work and said i think ive done something wrong...

i had a paddock basher that i started in the shed with the door open.i wasnt in the car and it was in reverse.went backwards really fast and ripped the drivers side door off.it wasnt funny at the time.

I cut my finger to the bone when I slipped undoing the last few bolts on my clutch, kept going til it was out with a large puddle of blood on the ground

not something i did but still pretty funny. when i was doin work experience one of the apprentices there at the dealership forgot to remove the big drain tray from underneath the car before lowering the hoist. Next thing you hear a nice big what the fark, lifts the hoist to find a nicely bent drain tray hahaha.

an aprentise at my mates panel shop jacked up a near new astra by the sump.

I put a new clutch in my Nitron it took me half an hour to get it out when it came to putting it all back together I couldn't get the gearbox back on 5 hours later I cracked the s**ts and called a mate he came and undid my cooler pipe and it slide straight back on. I've never let it down

Oh man thats ****ign classic! .. RUNAWAY VL TURBO! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was with a few mates and we needed fuel we went to mobil servo and I turned the car off turbotimer took over got out and they had run out of fuel so we all jumped back in the car and headed to the next servo BP about 500m down the road, we got to BP and the car stoped it took us an hour to figure out why she had stoped I forgot to turn the key back on she was running through the turbo timer

not something that happened whilst working on a car - but the run away VL made me remeber this time when i got off the bus at the local shoppingcentre. I was walking to my car where i saw this really nice supra idling.. i had a nice look at it when an old man sed "its been on since 9am and now its 3pm, what idiot did this". i started laughing, little did i know the owner was behind me. the look on his face was PRICELESS... his life looked shattered. my guess is the turbo timer never turned off LOL - poor guy
