Not long after I'd left school I worked as an apprentice welder and panel
beater.  One day I had to do an oil change on a Ford Granada that been 
rolled or
something and was now pristine after bodywork, paint etc.  It had the 
Cologne
vee-6 2.8L engine in it and I duly drained the oil, left the bonnet up and
went to get some clean oil.

When I came back with the clean oil the car was gone.  I kind of looked
around for when in a cloud of dusty shale the other apprentice slid the car 
around
the corner and skidded to a stop outside the workshop door. I frantically
waved to him and shouted NO, NO, while he just laughed and revved the engine
harder and harder.  When he eventually finished laughing and switched the 
engine
off I explained there was no oil in it.  So after exclaiming his surprise we
duly filled the engine and said nothing more about it.
