Assembly line worker's ring/earring/nose stud/ other piercing.

Does anyone remember the 80's vw golf advert, where a laughing mechanic came out of his garage to fix a squeak, by using an oil can on the lady passengers earring!

The strap line was " if only everything in life was as reliable as a volkswagen". Not sure if was true then, or now.

Elecie-doc gave me the best lol I've had all day, but paul 1963 is the closest. On our return the man at Arbury proudly brandished a sturdy looking bolt of the type and size used for locating a seat belt attachment. It had been retrieved with some difficulty from the depths of the B pillar where it had been gently rolling about. I can only guess that a butterfingered assembler on the production line dropped it and failed to retrieve it in time before the bodyshell passed to the the next station. Anyway, well done Arbury Peugeot Leamington Spa.

Way back in the 1980's I bought an ex demo 2 litre Capri. The one that superceded the early hockey-stick model.

I was fitting some wiring for rear speakers so removed the rear seat squab. Underneath on top of the metal floor I found a large selection of assorted black self tappers, spire nuts, plastic clips etc, like it had been dumped there. So much there was a cupped double handful of the stuff. Came in very handy! I've still got a few left!
