Thorin Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Can't imagine, but a couple of years back in Hull, our cops had the full on Escort cossie which they managed to right off 3 of them - lol. Then they had a Scooby - wrote off once or twice I think. They only got the standard protons with LPG now - that'll teach em Oh no they haven't A few scooby's, a couple of evo 8's, at least one Octavia RS, also had a V8 MG a while back on test. Several volvo's, bmw's, and various other covert stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelG Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 LOL this thread is great ! First car i can "remember" my dad having was a Vauxhall Chevette.......sadly it was smashed when i was in the back, 3 years old, and some wan*er in a Capri decided to not stop at a roundabout and slam clean into the rear quarter of us while my mum was driving. End of Chevette........ Then it was an A-Reg Brown Cavalier Saloon........oh classy lol.........a C-Reg white Rover 214si (the boxey shaped ones) and then a series of other sadly no longer made quality automobiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 A story about a fathers' car By WL (Aged 6) *Obiwan style* Ben: "luke, This used to belong to your father." (Slips in to the Supra and starts her up) Ben: "One day Luke you will be able to wield her in much the same way as your father did before you" (Revs engine) Luke: "You knew my father ?" (Ben is sitting in the drivers seat just revving the engine, staring into the mid distance) Luke: "Tell me about my Father, Ben" (Ben's eyes close and he lowers the revs) Ben: "Can you feel it Luke ? It flows through you." Luke: "How did my father die, Ben ?" (Ben engages a gear and releases the handbrake, excessive but controlled pressure is applied to the accelerator and the Supra flies forward. Luke is pinned to the seat.) Ben: "Just feel the Force, Luke." Luke: "FFS Ben, are you listening to me ?" (Ben sharply turns the sterring wheel and the Supra spins 180 degress and then takes off again.) Ben: "Its is skill such as this that you will need if you are to be come a 'Driver', Luke." (Luke is struggling to move his head due to the speed.) Luke: "Driver ? I thought I was going to be a Jedi ?" (Ben smiles) Ben: "Try this sucker first and tell me what you would rather be . . . !" (Ben wellies it and the scene fades as they speed over the horizon . . .) The end. (Anyone fancy a pint ? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 First car I remember my dad having was a burgundy thing - no idea what it was. Next was a Gold T reg granada - you had to park it on an angle or petrol leaked out of it Then we had a D reg silvery granada - got the nice 2.8 engine and a dodgy gearbox From there he had a N reg 2.5 Mondeo with a death squeal on start up Now he has a V reg 4.7 Grand Cherokee which likes new parts and has a iffy heater All in all my dad hasn't done well with reliability, but he does enjoy hooning around in the Jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
