I honestly don't know how my engine was running at all... All pistons rings were shot with #3 piston being held together only by dark matter... Main bearings and big-ends were rougher than a cheese grater, and had attacked the crank very violently. Some bright spark had also managed to crossthread the flywheel bolt all the way in and the gearbox was full of iron shavings. Mind = blown.

It had a piece of black tape over the oil pressure gauge because it had no pressure. Nothing at all. I wonder why... :P

At least something didn't seize and then chuck a rod through the block. Seen that before - it wasn't pretty!

Can anyone think of a good reason for poke, so I can tell my parents?! The only one I can come up with is "it looks cool"

Wider wheels mean more surface area on the road... More friction so car goes slower and more area for stopping....

Not being funny, but I thought this was illegal, and an MOT fail. Unless you have a 'friendly' tester of course. :)
