My first car was a 1986 Mazda 323. It was patched and repaired but ran. One afternoon I was going down the A12 when he petrol gauge started to point to the "your running on fumes mate" area. being a cheapskate I passed two garages until I saw one with cheap fuel. As I drove into the station the car farted, backfired and died, blowing half the exhaust off in the process! I stopped, picked up the exhaust and put in £10 worth of fuel.In the shop I bought a can of soup, two long worm drive clips and a tub of fire gum. I opened the soup, poured it down the drain and rinsed the can out with the water hose, cut the can end off and cut down the tin length ways. I then filled the edges with gun gum, wrapped it around the broken exhaust joint and secured it with the worn drive clips. Washed my hands and drove off leaving the girl bemused! It lasted like that for 6 months before another bit rotted out!
