I think I have posted this before......but here goes
I used to live in Edinburgh, and had a rather old and rather knackered Beford Rascal, with a very dodgy head gasket.
I was on my way to a job (motorway)
I happened to glance at the temp gauge and noticed it was getting rather hot (again)
So I pulled over onto the hard shoulder, and had a smoke while I waited for the rad to cool.
It was then I realized that I didn't have any water :mad2: "Wot do I do"
I then had the bright idea (It seemed like it at the time) to Pee into rad to get me to the job, such is my dedication :smilewinkgrin:
So I lift the front seats (engine under seats for those who do not know) and remove radiator cap..........
After careful balancing over rad........and positioning myself so any passing plod could not notice wot I was doing, I began.
Had trouble with my aim at first, and didn't want to get any closer for fear of scalding to my man veg
As soon as the first drop of pee entered the rad, WHOOOSH.
Oh no.........rad still to hot.
A cloud the size of Chernoble, of Bright, Bright yellow steam belted out, and filled the van.......and then started to escape out of the open windows. The sight of rubber necking motorists made me grin, and think, "wot the hell is happening there?, some guy in a funny position, with yellow smoke everywhere" :mad2::mad2:
Anyway......after pee-ing for wot seemed like an age, (I was busting) I think I managed to get enough in there to fill a cup (egg cup :incazzato
🙂
It worked, It got me to the job, and the guy was so impressed with my determination (didn't go into details) he gave me a £20 tip
I then broke down on the way home, but had a pee before leaving the customer :mad2:. So I had to call out the AA. He turned his nose up when he had to check the engine........the van stank for weeks.
Sold it not long after for spares......the guy who took it away was taking the pi££
:lol::lol:.
