Well since were starting true confessions. Here's a good one. The first time I was installing an engine in a Sprite, I couldn't get it in gear, at which point my buddy Peter looked at me and asked:

I once sold a Saab two stroke 93 to a guy who mixed up the sparkplug wires and had the engine running backwards!!!! I pointed out his mistake when I saw him in town driving backwards. "Damnedest thin

My chemistry professor told me about a car made in South Australia called a "Zeta". It was a 2stroke car with 4 'forward' gears. There was no 'reverse' gear because if you turned the key backwards th
