OK, some of you have commented on the amusing saga of my son's push car and his makeshif zorst pipe (an old 1100 cam hanging out the back).

I was throwing an old camshaft in the bin and he saw me and layed the old "What's that?...what does it do" speil on me. So I told him it makes my Mini go fast...and he said "Can I have it?"

I thought why not.....I am throwing it out, and being almost 3 years old he can find amusement and enjoyment from ANYTHING :lol: So I gave it to him and he proceeded to place it in the back of his push car, and explain to me that ...."This is my zorst pipe and smelly smoke comes out of there"..... :lol:

So after a few days I though he would be over it, so I took it and went to throw it out AGAIN. He saw me again and had a tantrum....so I caved and gave it back. Several more days later it had started to rust, and I thought it was now dangerous to little toes....so I chucked it out when he was asleep.

As soon as he spotted it was gone, the tantrums started!! :x :x :x (at 6am the next morning!!) I had to think quick....what can I do....

I told him that his zorst was no good, and he needed a new and improved 'DUAL ZORST PIPE' (he knows what dual exhaust are, because my inlaws have a new Subaru Outback with dualies, and he was examining them recently - because they are almost at eye level to him)

So......here is my son's ALL NEW SUPER DOOPER dual zorst pipe....

He loves it, AND it is kid safe. The only problem is that the dog wants to chew the ends of them, and he is constantly telling the dog to leave his zorst pipe alone..... :lol:

hehehe.....when the tantrum started I had to think quick!!!!! I knew I had some PVC pipe somewhere....so I was searching the shed and he was ..... :cry: :x :cry: ...so I grabbed the finished roll of Glad Wrap and gave him that, then I found the PVC cut off that I had horded for 3 years (funny how you keep something, thinking you will use it one day....and that is where it ends up! :lol: )

So there you go....dual zorsts and a happy camper. :wink:

I always watch that as well. It's the only show on foxtel I regularly watch.
Except I keep seeing the same 5 episodes over and over.
American chopper is good too.
JAM, discovery is the only channel you need. (Well, I need anyway)
