Ahahaha I can see this wasn't an isolated incident!

He went to Rutherford High School in Te Atatu (pretty rough, still is apparently) in the mid-to-late 70s.

Message to GiJoe1313 and other secondary teachers -- don't buy a Fiat Bambina!

Precisely. I went to Hutt Valley High, '71 - '75. There was a legend there referred to in oh-so-hushed tones about a Bambina carried up a stairwell to the first landing (This was in the old original 2 storey building which had very wide stairs).
May have been an urban legend tho
BUT I personally 'witnessed' an incident where a Bambina was turned front wheels in to the curb. The problem for the owner came when they discovered the car could not surmount the gutter-height, and reverse gear did not work.

I think I've still got photographic evidence of this one.

It was traditional in my school that the leaving sixth formers played some sort of prank on the day they left (or the evening afterwards). One year it involved painting the whole front fence and gates (big complicated cast iron jobbies) flourescent pink (the school colour, including uniform, is purple!). Another year, they filled the swimming pool up with food colouring.

My year, we were a ltitle adventurous, aided by the fact we'd recruited about 20 people. We disassembled an old unregistered mini we bought for twenty quid from a wreckers yard, and then piece by piece carried it up a ladder with a few ropes) onto the roof of the three story school administration building. A 12ft flag pole was then ceremonially raised through the Mini roof, with a flag reading "Waz Chanks" (an amusing - when you're 18 years old - reference to the mastubatory habits of a certain deputy headmaster).

The only thing that defeated us was getting the engine block up the ladder; otherwise, it was a completely successful exercise - all carried out at 2am in pitch darkness.

God, this thred is the funniest ever, sounds like some good pranks were played on some people.

On one of our teachers car, we placed 3 condoms inside each other with the opening taped over the exaust, man they can blow up large, they go with a hell of a bang though.

Wasn't Bumpy was it with his beetle?

Here's a couple or three. Tie a washer to someones driveshaft on a short piece of wire so that when driving it smacks against the floor.
Using 10min Araldite, glue some small blocks of wood on the top of one or all tyres. Gadoonk, gadoonk, etc.
Fill the headlights with an acetylene mix and break glass off bulbs before re-inserting. Then when you drive up behind someone you don't like or enjoy frightening, simply turn on the lights, showering them and anyone else in a huge radius with fragmented headlights and excessive noise.
Put oysters in hubcaps
Have done some/all of the above at some point

**NordieBoy** · 12th October 2007, 23:23

I've heard an oyster sellotaped under the desk when you finally leave your old job works as well.

Jeez, you've got some good one. I have wired a steak to the exaust of a mates car before, then he's wondering why it's smoking out the back of his car. He reckoned it smelt really good when he got out, though burnt.

Fraser High Hamilton circa 1983ish. Science teacher's Bambina would regularly end up on the landing of the concrete steps up to the bus lane. I can't remember his name though - he wore big thick glasses. In hindsight, he was a good bugger with a hell of a sense of humour. He would just drive the car down the stairs, through the school, and away
