I love the image of people putting vacuum cleaners under their bonnets with little attachments to get in through the spark plug hole. Im sorry but that tickles my funny bone.


Reminds me of one of my stupidest teenage acts - trying to suck something or other out of my mini's fuel tank using Mum's vacuum cleaner which was one of the old style cylinder on the ground jobs. It was working fine for a few seconds until BOOM, it blew the rear end of the vacuum down the driveway and clear across the other side of the street. I can still see the 20ft flame... Amazingly, after reassembly with some extra bolts and glue it worked fine but mother didn't appreciate the scorch marks hehe

I can't believe there are two people daft enough to have done this my dad did it with an old hoover cylinder cleaner, the mixture of fuel vapour, forced air, a nice small exit pipe and a spark created a very efficient jet engine for a second or two till it blew up lol!

This had me laughing out loud!
I'd like to see some video footage. Maybe when the Hamster is fighting fit he could get the Brainiacs to give it a go?
