I saw this on BW. Thought it must have been posted here?? Couldn't find it, so here goes!

Sounds like it is destined to become a sailboat engine.

You make me feel so old!

I instantly thought "well yeah OK very clever" but then had visions of drive belts at groin height next to loose clothing and hearing damage...

(probably due to the screaming as someone's nuts get mangled through his trousers and get splattered into the foliage above as well as the lack of exhaust)

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Rednecks is Rednecks. They need more duct tape, though.

Dan

Not much interest - I thought the shade tree mechanics would have liked this one

Regarding duct tape - I was in medical lab today getting some blood work done. They had TV with useful health tips. One of them was how to get rid of warts. You cover them with a piece of duct tape for a week and the wart goes away. I kid you not - direct from our health care specialists!

We used an engine puller and an old tire as the test stand for a 617 turbo we pulled at a parts yard. Probably a bit more safe as it wasn't off the ground but it did move around quite a bit.

My wife was advised to do the duct tape wart removal trick + some magic goo they suggested. It worked. Maybe the magic goo was unnecessary?

Did they find any? Blood, I mean..........

Dan

I've always wondered if Graham bleeds blood or diesel. Perhaps a mix of the two?

Just don't get WVO in there, that's a blood clot in no time.

Graham, tedious, but slightly funny. What I would have liked to seen is them removing and then getting it in the tree.

My sister told me about it and how it worked. However, not sure want to go around a week with duck tape stuck to me face. I only slice it now and then with the DE razor.

They had some trouble finding a vein and getting a sample. Time will tell just what the sample contained (Definitely no WVO, but perhaps some M1?).
