oil changes are popular.
ok, i have two i can think of:
1. drained the oil from my car. then refilled without replacing the drain plug. £20 worth of fresh oil onto the driveway.
and the best one (i was young)
2. driving two friends back from a nightclub in the early hours. car comes to a halt on the motorway, i pull over onto hard shoulder.
i open the hood and i check for fuel by removing the fuel line to carb. dooh, no fuel coming out - must be out of fuel. yes, fuel gauge confirms this!!!!!!!!!
go to petrol station (bloody miles on foot), buy fuel can, buy fuel, return to car some hour and a half later.
then i pour in the new fuel. shut hood, get in car and turn key..........nothing. i keep turning........
then whoof......there are flames licking around the edges of the hood.
then the light bulb comes on in my head, f*ck, i forgot to replace the damn fuel line.
call tow truck - car written off.
