COFFEE ANYONE?

Post by msbchi »

Some F@#ker stole the removable baffle from my cannon exhaust, which did'nt worry me too much as I kinda liked the rumble, but after a few months of my 12 year old complaining she couldn't hear the radio, or she had a head-ache and could I drive a bit quieter? and others threatening to sue for causing industial deafness I decided it was time to fix it. Unfortunately it's not a part that you can just buy, so as I was drinking my coffee, staring at the cup I had a flash of genious (or insanity). This cup looks like a baffle (it was a stainless steel one). So I cut off the handle drilled a lot of holes in the bottom and one on the side and slipped it in, the cup that is. Bunged a bolt thru the hole in the side and voila instant peace and quiet and a coffee on the side. Will post pic's as soon as pos

I know (or I think I know) that I've killed off a lot of my brain cells from 30 years of chemical abuse' but really a polystyrene cup how moronically inept would it be to even consider. Think I might replace my steering wheel a donut so if I have an accident I won't hurt my head and I'll have something to munch on till the tow-truck arrives
