No prizes, but obviously a grub screw down the inlet manifold wins

Today I managed to drop the screw from the bottom of the instrument cluster down into the hinge of the adjustable steering column

Only took an hour to liberate the little bastid

Normally happens to me after a repair has been done just about to celebrate a job well done

Cap from the top of my DTI into the plug hole on No. 1 cylinder of a freshly built engine made me say "bother" a few times. Fortunately a "magnet on a stick" came to the rescue.

Guessing most of the old dears don't have a Naga Chicken and half a dozen pints of real ale of a Saturday night.

Ignition key of a zx6 down the inside of the fairing. Before the days of magnets on sticks. Took ALL the plastics off, eventually found on top of the head/inlets. 

No, I don't know either.

8mm socket into pot 1. Lucky I had a magnet on a stick the greatest tool ever invented

Dropped £200 worth of 20's that fell out of the hole when I pulled the Courtesy Light unit of a BMW to change the bulb, most of it fell on my lap, the rest fell on the footwells, real pita to pick up.
