A bout of food poisoning works wonders. I lost 6lb in 2 days this week

for people not wanting to talk to God on the big white telephone.....

helium in the tyres
more burnouts to reduce weight of tyres
keep your headlights on (gets rid of a few photons!!)
try jumping up in your seat.. should momentarily reduce the weight
remove one brake pad from each caliper (I'm sure having 2 is just belt and braces )
Use Holy water for coolant (must be lighter if there's holes in it?)
Discard radiator cap, oil filler cap and dipstick



Disclaimer: anyone trying any of the above should be taken out and shot........not there's an idea. A hole in the head!

This thread has made my day.....

How about only filling up with enough petrol to get you to the next Shell garage. This also helps with collecting Top Trump cards

Holes don't weigh anything, although if you buy them from rralston it could get a bit expensive, so drill large holes into the bodywork.

- Go on holiday to Brazil. When you wake up, you should probably have a kidney missing.

- Stay single and avoid fat birds (or blokes)

Take the car to a Honda dealer for a new clutch. Something is bound to fall off on the way home

1) Get someone lighter than you to drive the car !!! (I don't think so)
2) Don't eat for a week
3) Drink some hot water (not boiling), so it makes you puke
