my cousin has just bought a old bimmer

it needed a service as he was doing the service he put in some petrol flush you know the stuff..you have to idle the engine for 15 minuntes or something....

well he had the car up on axle stands from doing the oil

well hes never had a RWD car before

guess what he did yet :eek:


tryed starting the car up on the axle stands while it was in first gear :notworthy :wave:

i watched from the lounge as a 320i lurched forward and the axle stands just took the strain and the car lurched back :D

golden balls

imagine the mess it could have made :D


James.......he wont live this down i make sure :wave:

Oh dear, I believe this is classed as a 'schoolboy error'.

I'm a big girl's blouse when concerned with starting cars when they are jacked/axle standed up. When my old boy helps me with my car's he jacks them up and gets to start them and put them in gear when his head is under the wheel inspecting it :(

Good job noone was under his car :eek: :eek:

Pretty funny in this case though :D :thumbs:

I was lying under a car once applying some sealant to a leaky exhaust joint. I asked the missus to start the car so I could hear if the joint was still blowing......

You see where this is headed.....

I've never got up so fast to this day
