JamieP Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I was 18 and sat in the passenger seat of my mates mkII escort tearing around the lanes of burnham beeches. Simon takes this one bend very well on almost 2 wheels and i remark to him nice driving and he was lucky to make that bend......... He turns and looks at me and says in only the way simon would "F**K off i could go round that bend 30mph faster than that" So... me being me i say to him "go on then":d We turn around and approach the bend at 30mph faster this time ( i have my feet on the dash crapping myself:d) half way round the bend he hits his first tree, we proceed to bounce off another couple and end up in the bushes upside down, he looked at me and said "you was right":d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I went through a showroom window in my old Fiesta 1.1 when I was about 19. Completely wrecked the wishbones, axle and front of the car, but luckily no damage to any cars in the showroom, just broken glass. Did a runner. At the time my brother was in the boot as I already had 4 in the back seats. Never again. I was such a king tw@t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 A few years ago I parked up at work infront of the car park wall, sneezed and my foot came off the clutch and the car jumped forward into the bloody wall. Thankfully, it was only a 50 quid spray from a mate to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannypunto Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 i had just finished my apprentiship and to my suprise had been given a apprentice myself, so im happily showing off in the works van listening to some old rave taps:eyebrows:, we were heading to a job and i decided to take a short cut across a large car park that i reguarly do, only this time i forgot i had the cat ladders on the roof, i traval under a resticted height barries, which catches the ladders, which sprung in the air and destroyed my headted front windscreen i honestly thought we were being attacked untill i realised what i had done , i then had to explain how a very large truck had gone past and trew a very large brick through the windcreen with "cough cough" bull shit writen all over my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannypunto Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 also my missus once drove down a tight street with cars either side, and a car was coming the other way, she refused to give way , as did this other car untill the both smacked wing mirrors, both cars had to stop, she gets out to pick her mirror up and so did 2 police officers in there unmarked car:blink:, and somehow she battered her eye lips and only got a telling off and producer!

Scoboblio Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Not exactly in the same league as Jamie's or Daman's, but still made me feel stupid........ Went to drop a couple of DVDs off at blockbuster last weekend, saw a space at the side of the road right near the store and think 'I'm in luck, I'll just show off my reverse parking skills....'. I'm halfway through the manoeuvre and I can see b***er all out the back of the brick shaped Seat Cordoba, so I open the door and stick my head out to look back. I'm almost into the space and I see a car approaching behind me, which obviously isn't going to get past when my door's open. So thinking fast I grab the door handle and try to slam the door shut..... with my head still out of it. Hurt a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turns and looks at me and says in only the way simon would "F**K off i could go round that bend 30mph faster than that" So... me being me i say to him "go on then":d We turn around and approach the bend at 30mph faster this time ( i have my feet on the dash crapping myself:d) half way round the bend he hits his first tree, we proceed to bounce off another couple and end up in the bushes upside down, he looked at me and said "you was right":d Something similar with my mate in his old Alfa Guiletta thing, this thing was 15 yr old when he had it, drives seat had a sort of a lean to it... (okay 3 bolts were snapped and if you accelerated hard you rest on the back seat)....but it did have one interesting quirk... it could bottom out over bumps and we would get sparks off the bottom... So reluctantly he handed me the keys and off I set down the road, doubled back and floored to this dip in the road which would launch the car landing in a shower of sparks...my attempt I did at 50mph...(as I didn't want to damage the car , bit rich thinking about it now).... Of course my mate was determined to do it better, so 3 of us piled into the car, up the road and floored it... Being slightly heavier he decided to carry a bit more speed...we hit the bump at pretty much dead on 70 and then suddenly realized our physics lessons... in the fact the faster you hit the higher you go..... so at about 1m off the road suddenly reality dawns...followed a split second later by the sound of metal hitting tarmac...followed by a dull thud....followed by lots of smoke.. Being the young lot that we were and after watching too much telly as youths, we assumed the car was on fire and as such stopped in the middle of the carriage way and bailed out screaming... Turns out we had worn through a section of the subframe and snapped the sump plug which blew oil onto the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 When I was stationed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (midwest, state North of Texas), I had a crazy roommate with a Jeep YJ with the 4.0 liter straight Six. We'd put big suspension, tires, winch, gears, and all the other standard kit on his because I had an '82 CJ-7 with plenty of gear on it and we lived near a big lake with great 4x4 trails. One Saturday nite as we're all getting shit canned at the house after a party somewhere, we notice it's dumping down snow. Someone gets the bright idea to go drunk four wheelin at the lake in the blizzard. By the time we get enough road beers in the cooler and put on jackets, there's well over a foot of snow on the ground. No big deal, "we've got four wheel drive", "sausage" as we called him belches. When we got to the lake 15 mins later, there was damn near 18 inches of snow. We lock the front hubs and crack another round. All four of us strap in for the wild ride. Four is a lot in a Jeep when two of them are fat. 30 mins later we approach an off-camber up hill slope. 'Crazy sausage' then turns and says, "that looks fun, think we can make it?" Two people say, "no", and he guns it. We shoot halfway up the 45 degree off-camber hill before we start to slide. The tires then catch an edge and we start to roll to the left. We roll 3-4 times and the hardtop that was keeping all the heat in shatters into 4 pieces. We wind up on our side suspended by the seatbelts and when all the glass stops falling, it get's eerie silent. The fat slob next to me turns and looks at me and then pops another beer. The sounds breaks the silence and we all bust out laughing histerically. We all pile out and listen to 'Crazy Sausage' bitch about how his Jeep is all F****d up before we push it back over. We picked up the pieces, piled back in and the old girl started up first turn of the key. Man that was a cold ride home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
