emoe Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 OOOO did someone forget to tighten their oil cap or is that really as bad as it looks!!! Link to comment
zeolite Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 That Evo was a tarmac rally car and it blew up on the Jim Clark rally, grinding to a halt where I was marshalling. The funny bit was when it spat in the eye of the mechanic out of the dipstick tube when the driver tried to restart. "**** it" he said "its ****ing ****ed" as he wiped his eyes of synthetic oil. Blown piston was his diagnosis. I felt the pain as I have been that driver Link to comment

emoe Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just found this picture again. It looks EXACTLY like the pic from the Mitsibushi that TOP GEAR used to tow a caravan to the world record speed. It blew on their last run. Link to comment
