Best Bodge youve ever done

That Corned beef would probably have been at just the right temperature to eat upon arrival too.

Many many years ago, my mate's mini broke the exhaust at the downpipe, we used a set of jump leads through the gearshift hole to hold it off the floor. Made a lovely sound through the Dartford Tunnel!

Have also used Drinks cans jubileeed to the exhaust for blowing exhausts.

Butter instead of grease on rusted wiper motor. (we were camping at the time)

Racket strap instead of rear u bolt on axle. (Again miles away at a car show)

Piece of angle iron instead of steady bar on a mini when the bar stripped the head. It was bolted to the slam panel, only draw back was everytime you put your foot down the bonnet popped open. (No excuse)

The accelerator cable mounting point rusted through on my Polo, so I used an aftermarket switch dash mount as a repair washer as it was all I could get off the car at the time. (Middle of Bromley High Street)

I've driven cars with string to replace the accelerator cable. (Not advisable...the foot is so much easier to control than the hand)

I've connected the choke cable to the accelerator when the cable broke and drove home pulling the choke in and out.

I even had to replace the fuel line on my Rover in a pub carpark after it melted to the exhaust and slowly emptied onto the forecourt. Luckily I had a blanked fuel return pipe looped up under the car, I was able to use that to replace the melted bit.

I always carry zip ties, jubilees, gaffa tape, packing tape, spare piece of bike brake cable and electrical connector as a 'splice' and various other assortments in my 'Get you home box' and trust me many people have 'got home' courtesy of that box of bits.
