Just watched the latest Smallest Cog episode. The apprentice had to empty the waste oil drainer. Attached the air pressure hose, and guess what? Exactly as you described 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I forgot to say in the 70s .. My dad used to underseal the car with the old engine oil and paint the garden fencing , We had the best fencing, and the only car in the street without rust 😄
Excellent episode fellas 👍👍 Loved the Lightning story’s. My favourite fighter of all time. I must have been about 11 years old, so around 1966 we had a family day out at the air show held at RAF Gaydon. There was a Lightning and and Phantom next to one another, protected from the public by a length of one inch rope looped through sticks 😂 As the show was coming to an end, pilots were returning to their steeds ready for departure. There were no throngs of hi-vis clad guards herding the crowds to a safe zone 200yard away. The pilots and crew just began the start up procedure. Strangely, as happened back then, we all started to get ourselves out of the way and into a safe area using common sense alone 😱 Happy days 🛩️
Haven’t heard the name Houchin for years. My grandad when he retired from the police in the 70s got a job as live on site security guard at the factory in Ashford. When I stayed over in the on-site flat my grandparents lived in I used to go on patrol with him round the factory. I can still smell the oil and metal shavings the whole complex smelt of. It was a massive place that got pulled down years ago. I guess the work went abroad.
i usually save these pods for my drive from kent to newcaslte, but couldnt resist watching this one while doing yet more work at home, very funny lads, please keep it up, getting better and better
Another great episode. You mean the Fiesta RS Turbo - with the three spoke alloys and green bumper trim; there was an Escort RS Turbo too. Only ever saw them in white. Think they also did red, black and grey.
I've got an unusual question for Wynne. In a previous life I was a traffic cop in Northumbria Police. I used to patrol around North Newcastle and Whitley Bay. We used to see local fighter jets just off the coast doing low level trianing runs. I used to use the hand held laser and radar we used for detecting cars speeding to see if we could get a 'hit' on the jet. It never did get a reading, however, we did used to see the jets wiggle the wings at us, as if the pilots were getting a missle lock or radar lock warning tone in the cockpit and they were warning us to stop it. I dunno if the missle lock warning is a real thing. Good job it didn't automatically shot at us or I would have been screwed. Any truth in this ?
Mk2 astra 1.3's seemed so rapid back in the day i would almost say they were better than the 1600 for racing arround in. I had a mk2 1.3 , im sure it was 5 speed , i always say it was an eclipse, with pearl white wheel trims that lasted a week before they all flew off. No one i speak to has ever heard of such a model , who knows must have been a dealer special .
The more i watch the two of you , the better it gets .. 😄 Brilliant 🤙🏼

Super entertaining , thank you both . Roisin Conaty as a guest serving drinks adding to the craic would polish off the Man Down vibe for sure....

I believe it was an English electric lightning that Jeremy Clarkson purchased and put on his driveway 😂 to the obvious delight of his neighbours 🤣
I am now looking for any kinder products for my satisfaction. Wynne, no one told me it was a Val Doonican evening. You have out done yourself. 😂
