We did some power tool racing at a sheet metal shop I used to work at. Most if not all of the gear was trashed bearings,bushes gone etc. All was going well till one stray 125mm makita grinder strayed from our drag strip and hit the bosses BMW. You've never seen 20 blokes between 17 and 58 turn and clear away so fast! As usual the fork lift driver got the blame low pallets of steel being trundled about and all that.
