DJR Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 We had a yellow one like that when i was at school. Nicknamed the yellow submarine, it went everywhere and carried everything from garden refuse to the dump, muddy soccer/rugby players home after the game and our family on our annual holiday to the Cape from Jozzie. It was the car i learnt to drive first and also the car i would "borrow" to visit my mates when the folks were out Naughty you, I'm going to refer your children to this post Beattbox and Sidersky 2
PhilipV Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Shame man. Have some mercy on him........ That will either make him or break him re working on cars himself....If I raise him right it won't break him. Grease under your finger nails has never hurt a man.

Lotus Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 If I raise him right it won't break him.Grease under your finger nails has never hurt a man.And he won't grow up mechanically useless like those TG idiots who shouldn't be allowed near cars.
Kalahari Vegmot Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 If I raise him right it won't break him.Grease under your finger nails has never hurt a man. True, but scrubbing all the grease off your hands Sunday before church certainly has...
CAAD4 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 And I bet your hearing never quite recovered from the straight cut gears in the gearbox.....Is that what caused the bloody whining sound?
Paul Ruinaard Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Remember watching these compete at Kyalami in the hands of Scamp Porter and Puddles Adler.Then some kid named Jody Scheckter showed up in a turbo-charged version that was so quick the front-end kept lifting off down that long main straight. Very sideways through Clubhouse corner too (maybe that's where he got the nickname from).if you read Jody's biography eventually Scamp Porter and the works Renault team would put their cars under covers when he was in their garage as he was beating them as a privateer. Every time they improved he copied them and beat them the next weekend out. Jodie was fast in a shopping trolley which he clearly demonstrated later in his career. I remember the 1979 SA Grand Prix with him and Gilles Villeneuve like yesterday, the year he won the world championship. We were seated down at Crowthorne. Rain delayed start and all sorts of antics.

Great era in SA racing. A little while after that he moved up to Formula Ford, and I remember sitting at Clubhouse Corner (we were members of the SCC so a great place to be). The first 7 times through Clubhouse, Scheckter would spin that FF every time. 7 times in a row! Photographers had a field day, and the grownups (and in that enclosure those were mostly all racers of some ilk) were declaring him useless and that he'd never make it in single seaters!
Patchelicious Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Do you guys remember back in the good old days, when cyclists still had to use their own legs to get to the top of the hills. Oh those were the days..... Hairy, Bateleur1, Underachiever and 1 other 4
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Is that what caused the bloody whining sound?Yep. SC gears will do that. Sorta like a supercharger whine, or air raid Siren when it just starts up.

Andymann Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Years ago we all gathered around an old Pentium to watch "One Night in Paris". The term Shaven Haven was mentioned. I'll never forget that. Patchelicious 1
