Top Tip Of The Day
I don't know about you lot but where I park my car I always pay attention to any fluids that are on the floor. If it's red,gearbox oil,if its watery,I have a little taste off the end of my finger,Just water,obviously just rain water left from the previous nights downfall or just from the air-con. If it tastes sweet,oh dear,anti-freeze! Oh bugger,head gasket or hopefully just a leaky joint or a holed pipe.
Then again if it tastes slightly bitter,it's probably dog pee, Yes folks.at half past eight this morning I was tasting dog pee and my daughter was howling with laughter! Feel such a berk now! Last edited by Andy Northface; Sep 16th, 2011 at 09:37. |
