    Great tall story.
    One of mine. Went to this real sketchy remote farm in the middle of absolutely no where. The guy said the truck wouldn’t run, and hadn’t in a while. I talked him down from $1500 for this older F150 to about $600 since it would likely wind up being a parts truck. He was ok with that, and he went back to the house. Popped 5 gallons of gas in the tank. Then my baddie crawled under the truck with a hammer. I turned the key, and two hits with the hammer it started right up. The owner was running down the front porch steps as we were driving by the house, but by then it was too late. 1 calliper and brake pads all round, I drove that truck for 2 years before I had to do anything more to it.

    1984 my late wife and I were heading to Florida from Wisconsin in my 65 Chevy van with my 46 Harley in the back. Having fuel problems on the expressway in downtown Atlanta Georgia we got off the expressway in a not so good part of town. Going up a hill it gave up the ghost. Manual trans, no parking brake on hill I didn’t trust just in gear so let it roll backwards and rested end of bumper against utility pole so could still open rear doors. Carefully unloaded motorcycle because of steep incline. I headed off to find parts store. When in store I kept one eye on motorcycle so it wouldn’t disappear. Got fuel pump headed back. She said as she was sitting on cooler having a beer and some locals came by and asked if she had beer in the cooler. She gave them a couple and everything was cool. Put the fuel pump on and we were happy to be on our way. As far as coldest drive was 1974 after Christmas after midnight was on the same 46 Harley, below 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 miles home. Oh to be young and crazy! Didn’t know the meaning of bad decisions.

      I had to have the local police (the company I worked for did work for the local police so I knew the right person to call) follow me into a neighborhood to service a church's sound system to keep the neighborhood drug dealers from chasing me to either sell me their product or rob me.

      @@sewing1243 I think I would have gotten a different job. I talked to a man who did a lot of utility work in Milwaukee. He said once he noticed an empty bullet casing on the ground and picked it up. That summer he kind of kept notice and picked up any empty ones he saw. By the end of summer he said he had one of those large coffee cans almost full, I’m glad I live in the sticks.

    My latest adventure to pick up two junk 1972 torinos was not as dangerous as your story. I asked a friend with a rollback to move one car that was sitting on the earth and really rusty. I got there early and cut away all the brush and got the front wheels rolling. The frame was rotted in several places, so when he got there, we set up a snatch block to get it out and hooked up to the engine cradle to pull it out backward. It went without any problems, so I said, "Can we come back and get the other car? He agreed, and so we did. The second car had an engine and no wheels and no roof or quarter panels. The frame was solid and not a worry, but boy, did it give us trouble coming out. The real problem was when the winch cable came out of the spool. We trimmed it off and loosed the set screw to put it back in, and then the bed came down on the both of us. I thought it was going to kill us both, and I started pushing up as hard as I could. I said Tim, this thing is crushing me, and he said it's crushing me too. I said, "You wiggle out and start the truck and get the bed raised. I probably was causing the pressure on him cause I was afraid the bed was not going to lift. Luckily, he raised it, and he said I think I hit the lever with my leg and caused the bed to drop." We laughed and quickly put blocks in place to prop it up. I had a bruised shoulder blade, but we made it out OK. I really like your shirts, but I live in the States. Is shipping available to the USA?

    I was with my dad picking up his Xc coupe and the guy we bought it off took our trailer off the tow bar to get a better angle so it wouldn’t scrape on the way up he put it back on all seemed good we get about 50kms from home to stop for a drink would have been roughly 200km we drove by that point I happened to look at the trailer an the tow ball lock is sitting up unlocked so lucky there was enough ball weight that the trailer didn’t come off couldn’t believe it no matter how excited you are never trust any one with an important job always double check yourself

    Back in the 70s my dad bought a 46 Chevy, I remember the guy telling him the motor was locked up, so he had disconnected the enclosed driveshaft, he also said that his chickens had been roosting on the roof. I was a past master of being towed on the end of a 30 foot chain ( years latter I asked my dad why we never got a trailer, he said he always wanted a gin pole truck) anyway dad was in the family 68 Chrysler wagon and we start off driveshaft started vibrating in it's casing, that's when I found out the chickens had been roosting inside! I'm choking on chicken poo dust, I can't get the window to roll down then dad tapped the brakes to let me know to start slowing down (Did i mention this was late evening?) So I stepped on the brakes pedal went to the floor WTF I try it again dad is now tapping the brakes, flashing the taillights at faster. Finally he had to stop for the stop sign, and I plowed into the back of the wagon, by that time I had the door open trying to drag my size 13 in an effort to at least slow down. Of course, he came out of the car in a rage "Why didn't you stop?" I was covered in chicken dust, eyes watering, coughing, I explained to him the situation. Well we made it home by him anticipating lights and slowing down till our bumper touched, he then would use the wagon to slow me down. After the 30 mile trip home all I wanted was shower and clean clothes. Funny thing is he never even opened the hood 6 months later he sold it to another fireman.
    Oh we cut the ends off an old driveshaft and ran the chain through it to act as a brake.

    That's a great story...What we do to chase a bit of junk ,!!!!!....My two brother in law's (both a bit older than me) told me a story about my old man when he was alive. Which I thought was a pissa...My old man would go out drinking midway during the day with his work mates and end up forgetting to get home in time for dinner...(back when drink driving was akin to today's going to the gym)....Anyway my brother in law's both went out to "lunch" with my old man and his work mates down a the Sergeant's Mess (army) where they promptly had a huge 'work out' ....My old man was driving them all home (obviously late and very likely they were in trouble with Mum when they arrived home).....My brother in law's then described what happened next to me like this.......Your old man was as pissed as anything and so were we , He was driving the Volkswagen (Beetle) then all of the sudden he said to us,. Watch this fellas, you'll need this one day......He pulled over got out of the car, opened the back boot of the Beetle, then proceeded to smear engine grease up and down both arms and on the front of his shirt, got back into the car, drive around the corner into the driveway only to be greeted by your Mum standing in the driveway with her hands on her hips and the filthiest look on her face, and as soon as he stopped the car, Mum yelled out to him "Where have you been?" To which Dad replied " Bloody Volkswagen broke down,....Again!!!" .....Mum then looked at Dad with all the grease over him and said "Oh, Sorry ......I thought you'd been out drinking ....... And walked back inside the house,. Dad looked at both my brother in law's and winked......"See, That's the way you do it !"..........
