    Yep, i always wipe my hands in my clothes.....and no nancy boy gloves either when working, gotta be covered in real grease and oil to be at one with the work at hand.

    I was in a meeting the other day with a supplier and he was looking at my hands while asking if id been working on a engine earlier that day, i said nah, been through a shower 3 times since i last worked on one, the stains are virtually tattooed into my skin.

    Bah Mrs going crook....reminds me of that movie line, "cook me some eggs bitch".

    Clothes are cheap, you can buy tshirts and shorts for $10 these days, perfect for not bothering to change.

    Worse when you walk into a auto parts store with black stains around your fly.....yep i know.....

    Yep never known any other way to pack a wheel bearing but using the palm of you bare hand, its the mans way of working.

    Also eating lunch with just a quick wipe of the hands in a dirty shop rag, yet for some reason i never get sick from it.....

    You are blokes after my own heart. If you ain't dirty, you ain't werkin. Is that a blower on top of that engine godz? The big yellow thing, might be just the angle of the shot but it looks like it might be some mean machine you've got there.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    The gold bit is the front timing cover and cam covers, engine was about 12 inches up, i was getting under the intake manifold to undo the knock sensors before ripping it out all the way.

    @ watchdog, thank god its my legs and not my arse that caught your attention.

    I wasn't here 20 years ago, so that does not help me, or any other newbies.

    mango,

    You only come here to troll and incite arguments.

    Another infraction for you. You are also banned from the thread.

    If you persist, you'll be banned from the site altogether.

    As for other members, please do not feed trolls.

    Kids....PLEASE!!!! Lets not bicker this close to Christmas.....here.....Godzilla seems to insist, so here,s my rendition of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly...

    The Good Me and my Budvar watching my son work in my garden.

    The Bad My lower back pain and my sciatica.

    The Ugly Me....

    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
