I used to run a small garage.....
Just a one-man band really. But I rented premises in a yard with other guys who did the same. We had a sort of "shittest pool car" competition going. There was a lot of car borrowing what with all the pidking up and dropping off of customers cars. We all had "Shitters" i.e. an unregistered, untaxed piece of crap you didn't mind leaving anywhere. We used to drive into each other, stand on them for a better view, paint them stupid colours etc. The undoubted winner was one guy's Datsun 100 circa 1973 vintage carad.ebayimg.com/i17/03/a/000/78/0f/c577_4.JPG
It was blue had crap flames sprayed on it and smelt of burnt plastic! Probably from where petrol was poured on the boot once and set fire to just before the owner drove off in it! Not a clever move when the premises were behind a petrol station but it was funny at the time!

Eventually the owner left it too long in the same place, and the customer who lived nearby phoned him up one evening as calmy told him that the fire brigade were in attendance, as his car was on it's roof in the middle of the road, with 20 foot flames coming out of it! Did he want a picture?
