Amusing car stuff / funny / stories / pics , print / whatcha got

Even way back then Ford needed Chevrolet to be a winner!

 

My vise vs one I saw on the Interweb,,,WTF

 

Sooo.... You're slacking off there, Bud! Get your ass out to the garage with your DA sander and buffer!!

 

some elbow grease and a little sweat and you'll get a ribbon too

 

Some real boat anchors

 

1968/71 Holden Monaro muscle car and what they are supposed to look like. Not really funny as it must have been someones pride and joy.

 

Sad to see a HK/T/G get the Titanic treatment.

They are supposed to look like this, with the 327 muscling it's way up the Mountain



It's interesting that the HK (1968) just misses the HAMB date cutoff for the main board. With Australia lagging a few years behind the US styling cues, it almost fits in visually.

water must have been leaking out damn fast, they got the boats out but left the anchors

“knock-knock”
“Who’s there?”
“Rod”
“Rod who?”
“Rod went through your pan”

 

In a long boring discussion on another website about rod length vs piston speed and when in the cycle the piston reached its greatest velocity. I said the piston was moving it's fastest just before it pushed the rod through the pan.

 

At least it didn't go through the block!

or take most of the drivetrain with it...



That Magic Muffler Fiat photo comes to mind every time I see a rod-thrown-out story. There is a similar photo of a transmission failure, case in the car but with almost all the gearbox parts on the floor in a pool of fluid. From memory a Torqueflite, bloke standing in front of it wearing a Stetson hat. Couldn't find that one though.

Think I got it saved... With 42,000 other pictures on my cellphone....

 

You're welcome !

That's the one - thankyou

Anyone know the story behind it (car, engine, trans, racing or road, where, when), or who the Man in the Hat is?

Methinks it's a 64 Dodge Polara and a Torqueflite, but then again I'm no Dodge expert.

I wonder if that is Landy's famous 330? The headlight/grille are different, but then again I am no Dodge expert.
