Default My new best trick..

Did this on a couple of demo cars in the car park at Porsche the other day...

Push the fuel filler flap in (as if to unlock) while the car is locked and it opens about 1mm...

Then when the driver comes along and unlocks the car the fuel filler flap flys open. It leaves the driver standing there thinking WTF...

Hey this can be far more annoying than Paul Daniels, because if you don't notice it and get in the car to drive off you only realize its open when you turn on the ignition so then have to get out of the car and close it..

Maybe my big stunt should be a covert visit to the Silverstone PDE one night and pop all the flaps.

If you're really after a OMG Noooo, it really only takes a surprisingly small amount of oil on an exhaust manifold to make one hell of a big cloud of smoke. Which tends to conveniently occur a few hundred yards from the scene of the crime. I mean, prank. I mean, not that I would have any way of knowing for sure….

I don't know. I used to be a prankster when I was a teenager, but now I'm in my 20s and I no longer have any urge to prank people.
Now I wouldn't touch other people's cars without permission. Some people are overly protective of their cars, and they will be really mad if they know some prankster has touched their properties.

Your off the hook if you can mutter "Hands Up, Don't Sneeze" or "I can't Barf"

I know just how you feel. Which is why I never do the oil smoke thing. Not when you can pour a quart under the rear end without ever even touching the car….

Just be careful who's car you go around touching.. Get caught touching the wrong person's pride and joy, even if you think it is funny, you might end up pissing off someone you wish you didn't.

What I'd find really amusing is seeing someone fooling with anothers car getting their *** kicked... In fact I might join in out of general principal.

Have a nice day.
