• see if I care..... 15 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Pulled down the Holley 4-bbl carb and blew that out, seems fine. Auto choke is a bit iffy but in this heat don\'t need it anyhow. Battery was the wrong one so bought a new Yuasa (they\'re the best). Hoses, belts, rad and coolant seem A OK so left them alone. The a/c is the old Bendix compressor out of the ark and used on every US car in the 50\'s/60\'s, so I had a leak test and I got it refilled with Freon and so far so good.

  We want a dash cam but don't know where to start. What should we buy? 10 May 2021 (Ask HJ)
  We've been advised to get a dash cam but have no idea what to get. It's very confusing. Neither of us is very tech-savvy so really we need a medium-priced...

  Jerry Stromyer, 24, of Kincaid, bit the blasting cap as a prank during the party late Tuesday night, said Cpl. M.D. Payne. "Another man had it in an aquarium hooked to a battery and was trying to explode it." "It wouldn't go off and this guy said I'll show you how to set it off." He put it into his mouth, bit down and it blew all his teeth out and his lips and tongue off, Payne said.
• How to sell scooters 23 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  If the customer persists with their mad request, sell the demonstration bike. If that fails, take a few bits off it before they arrive. Empty the fuel tank, short out the battery, squirt oil into the silencer, smash one indicator, let the front tyre down to 10psi, and reduce the idle speed so it stalls continuously ? be creative! Only arrange test rides when it is raining, for obvious safety reasons.

• letter from the colonies vol 14 18 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  My Tagalog isn't up to a translation here but I am told it asks gems like: "when driving at night should you (a) use main headlight only, (b) use all lights, or (c) use no lights wherever possible to save the vehicle battery?" William completes his test in about 5 minutes and hands it in. We have now been at the LTO 5 hours and if nothing else is ever on time in this country, you can set your watch by lunchtime, 12 noon.
• 30 armed police arrest couple from anonymous call 7 May 2012 (Forum)
  The van had been stripped down, the roof linings were hanging down, the plastic dash had been stripped and not put back together properly, the acceleration was mysteriously sluggish (on a fully serviced, 08 plate). Obviously we wanted to get back home as quickly as possible.  100 miles from home we had a battery light come on, oh no, we have found out since that the van was ripped apart, including the engine and they did not put it all together correctly. We had no idea whether we would, but eventually we did make it home safe but every step of the way we were worried whether our vehicle was still a target by the Police.
