cols110 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 G`day all one of the blokes at work found this article in Sundays evening post out here in Dubai, after the rain, warning people about some of the mechanical dangers of driving during the wet period. Sorry about the quality of the scan, but you will get the general idea. This article had a couple of us rolling around laughing, and the sad part is, there are probably people out there who try to learn from this carp. This really gets my vote, for worst article of the year, have a read and laugh, and try to spot the odd mistake here and there, then try to explain to me, the meaning of accelerator boots!

Corrode Finger Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I assume they would have a heartattack when they saw what we do with Land Rovers. I like the concern over not letting water into the exhaust incase it gets to the engine!! I assume they mean not doing something like this? A 90 having fun at Minstead with Shires back in Jan 06.

BogMonster Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 then try to explain to me, the meaning of accelerator boots! They are the boots that you wear, often lined with lead, that are used to press the accelerator hard on to the floor thereby achieving maximum engine performance Presumably a terminal battery affects the transmission by not being able to start the engine that is attached to said transmission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrode Finger Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Paul - you know you can go back and edit posts rather than re-post three times Yes, i know, i did the edit and added the comments about computer playing up. For some reason while waiting for the picture to upload, the post went up twice without the picture. Do not know what went on as all three posts appeared at once. Stupid IT black magic!!
