Serious exhaust and silencer problem
I've got a serious exhaust and silencer problem...
... I've lost them! 
You know how it is... it's small, easy to mislay so you put it somewhere safe.
Hmmm... how the hell has this happened?
There's only 3 places they could sensibly be (one is a totally empty garage) and I've searched them!
I want the manifold as I want to mod it to fit my car! 
Grrrr!
Cheers,
James

Have you looked in the attic? Or as in my case cable tied to the undersize of the garage roof?
Or maybe in the bottom draw of the tool box?
Ignore the last one, it's daft, almost as daft as losing a complete exhaust

Have you looked on the car?
I spent ages looking for a misplaced rose joint, and after ordering another I found the original one attached to the car!

I lost a a brand new, boxed, nitro engined, 1:8 scale RC Stadium truck a few years back.
I remember putting it in the loft just to temporarily get it out the way and I've not found it since despite numerous full scale searches.
It's just vanished.

That's been my suspicion too.
The thing is, wouldn't they have nicked something else from the garage as well? Like the car? Or atleast some tools other stuff?
Going to go back with a torch so I can see properly in the 'eves' of the garage in case I put it there. It's not very strong up
there though so will be surprised I thought it a good idea to put it there in the first place!
Very weird!

Sadly not... I know this as it's 1-2" short for my wider car and it needs modding first!

when you got it, was it packed? Did you leave it in the box or did you left it like that?
Try to think where you were.

I would ring you to discuss but I have lost my phone
It was on the bench, then I went to use it.....gone. tried ringing the number....nothing? Oh well it is probably with the brand new rad cap I bought
last week, that too has absconded.

Where did that go?

i lost two of my favourite screwdrivers on a job this week. Searched high and low after the first went, got out my spare and that vanished too. I
searched everywhere. Its just so damned annoying because you know in reality it IS there somewhere, but i end up walking round in circles with a
headache At least its only a fiver to replace!
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.
