Tell me about it. Mate and I brought and old Humber 80 for $50 for a demolition derby car.
Before the demo derby where it lasted less than a lap we took to around a south cost which is really a 4wd road. Fuel pump had died so we had a coke bottle hanging of the rear view mirror full of petrol and a tube running to the carberutor . If you squeezed the bottle a little bit we could get more RPM out of the engine. When it ran out we’d just refill it with a petrol can.
We drove about 3-4 miles before getting the car beached and almost going over a bank. I jumped from the vehicle thinking it was going to roll over. To make matters worse my mate was smoking . Nothing happened . Managed to get the car unstuck.
But it’s amazing the dumb stuff we did as young lads. Kinda Darwin awards material.
