I once bought a car with a leather belt (usually wrapped around your waist) stuffed into a propshaft centre bearing

I once bought a car with a 5 speed knob on the shifter but with only a 4 speed gearbox underneath

A friend once bought a car with a mixture of radial and cross ply tyres on the same axle

I once worked with someone who used to weld up cars as a sideline - he used to "borrow" Nitrogen from work to use as an inert gas for his MIG welder...
