Our mate Pete Q..er "Q" for quick, has been sprung trying out his new Polish Racing seat but it seems to be affecting his hearing 'cause the navigator's instructions are simply going out the window..
Hang in there Pete, success is just around the corner.

Muffled Explosion
2009 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(10 January 2009, Pennsylvania) An embarrassed and seriously injured 17-year-old initially claimed that an explosive had been planted in his backpack by persons unknown. However, police investigators soon extracted the truth from the feckless teen.
He found an M-80 explosive at his grandmother's house, took it to his room to examine it, and began to repeatedly light and extinguish the fuse. During one of these cycles the fuse would not go out, so he jammed the red cardboard tube between his thighs and covered it with his hand to muffle the explosion. This plan was less successful than he had hoped.
Commonly thought to be a quarter stick of dynamite, M80's (according to pyrouniverse.com) actually contain flash powder rather than TNT, and only 1/50 the amount--just under 3 grams. Used by the U.S. Military to simulate grenade explosions, M80's were outlawed in 1966 under the Child Protection Act.
They are not safe enough to be detonated by the average man on the average street, let alone by the average 17-year-old. One loud KABOOM! later, our junior pyrotechnics specialist had lost his right hand, right leg, and--very likely--his right to reproduce, earning him a living Darwin Award.
* As always, my regrets to the boy and his family.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry so stuff it I'm gonna laugh my tits off 'cause that's a cack !!
Ha ha look mum, no nuts !!
Even Pete Q is smarter than that !!
No sure about JK. I'd guess he'd try it down his shorts for bigger bang than usual..hehhee.
As for Kevin, I am certain he'd do the classic Samity Sam thing and stare down the burning fuse running around what to do with it until it blew up leaving him with a burned moustache and smokin' eyebrows...'onya Kev.
So while I was taking the piss out of the Ozzies not contributing to much to the motoring world, here is what our country has developed . The new seven seater motorcycle. Beat that.
We just had a track which got a bit chaotic. This pick makes me laugh especially the chap in the back. It did end in tears with the day stopped short a few turns later. http://www.zoc.co.za/photo/showimg.php? ... 7%20t7.jpg
