A little hint for all the Series and Fender owners.

If you are ever doing work on your landy and decide to go for a small test drive with the bonnet off. Remove the bonnet hinge bushes first, other wise they may not be there when you come to refit the bonnet.

Do not ask me how I know this..................

Cheers

Woops.

Bearing in mind the amount of time my bonnet is up on the OneTen, I'm considering leaving it off permanently!

I've accidentally left bolts on the vent cover on the front wing before. Went off for a test drive and guess what wasn't there when I got back? Funny that

Heheh, I greased mine, thinking they'll stay there. I was wrong .. dunno why I didn't just feckin take 'em out!!!!

And as @Al2O3 just said, wing tops are where I reckon many small parts and even tools, 'get lost' ...

I've done worst i left a brand new iPad on the wing went with a trailer behind the landy drove about 30 meters then remembered about the iPad went back for it
Guess what did I see in the yard when I went there

Wasn't pretty after about 6tonnes gone over it

A few years ago I wuz driving along in me 88 and something fluttered past the screen....Moments later a few others...Paper....That's odd....

I'd driven about 4 miles before my wallet on the wing flipped open and released its stash of tenners

I managed to drive all the way from Yeovil to Redruth with my mobile phone on the rear foot step of my 110. Still works!

bankz5152 · May 10, 2017

Ive done that.....

One thing that shocked us, is we left a biscuit on the boot lid at lunch on Sunday, in France. 1.30hr driving through France, Euro Tunnel Trip, loaded on to the big yellow taxi and the 2 hours home from there and unloaded. Biscuit hadnt even moved!

Oldseadog · May 10, 2017

Hadn't realised that there were so many of us dipsticks on here

Turboman · May 10, 2017

Done similar. Not with bonnet bushes, with boots!

Took me boots off, covered in mud, and put em on the roof of me series. No surprises, they werent there when I got home from work. I even saw one of them fall off in the side mirror. I assumed it was just falling leaves out the corner of my eye, like you get in country lanes in Autumn!

bankz5152 · May 10, 2017

This reminds me of one of my impromptu picnics at the side of the A2 (i.e a breakdown

) We plotted up waiting for the tow truck on a nice verge when some fella started coming toward us, turns out he was looking for his phone and had left it on his roof when he left Bluewater, which was a good 30 mins away!

but "find my iphone" led him to our lil bit of green haha. Strangest part was he hadnt driven down that road until he saw his phone was there....

I reckon hed left it on the roof, someone nicked it and was driving down there.

My dad got a close shave with something similar
He put his knife an sheep ear marking one very hard to get and expensive and his last one he put it on a trailer and it miraculously stayed on 60miles no idea how and half of that mileage was on a bumpy track

I once left a Tamron zoom lens on my wing, and never saw it again.
Another time I didn't close my bonnet properly and nearly lost it, not to mention the fact it flew up & blocked the whole windscreen on a Spanish motorway slip road.

Al2O3 · May 10, 2017

I've had a good titter reading through that lot

Reminds me of the thread I did a year or so ago after I'd set my self on fire with the sparks from the angle grinder. The thread was called Anyone set themselves on fire recently, got some funny responses.

Oooops forgot about that.
