Ian C Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm confused between the idiocy of uplaoding the video to youtube and the pettiness of this being a news story I shall have to leave it at lolmehdoh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 How ridiculous, it's just a bit of fun I remember buying a car from an auction back when I was 17, I pulled out in my new 1.6 mk4 escort and started cruising in my new beast. I saw a huge puddle that took up my whole lane, with a middle aged dude walkign right next to it on the pavement. I couldn't resist so I sped up and caned him with a tsunami size splash wave...........worst thing was though is that I was driving down a dead end road. So I turned around and started driving back, when I saw the same guy flicking his arms down trying to shake the worst of the water off from my previous assault. I couldn't resist, so I drove over to the other side of the road and got him again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimojameso Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Out of order but made me laugh, she was steamin along tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 How ridiculous, it's just a bit of fun I don't see it that way at all, it won't be just a matter of drying their clothes as the water in the gutter will be absoloutely filthy. With that sort of evidence I hope she receives the maximum penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Out of order but made me laugh, she was steamin along tho! It is out of order doing it on purpose, but you had to laugh! They would be soaked with the size of that wave! Thing is, I reckon that could be classified as dangerous driving, she was nailing it, and aqua planing is a sure fire way to loosing control. I don't see it that way at all, it won't be just a matter of drying their clothes as the water in the gutter will be absoloutely filthy. With that sort of evidence I hope she receives the maximum penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 just imagine pistonbroke doing that , because its really funny , aquaplaning on the water , possibly killing a few kids and stuffing his nice newly done supe into a wall . not so funny really:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 If they did kill someone, the video wouldn't have looked great for their case when the police had a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Only time i have ever aquaplaned is when doing over 60. I've never had any issues at lower speeds. However, i havent' seen the video so don't know how badly she was caning it. I've done it LOADS of times, always around the 30mph mark and the car has been solid. I've never done it through a full width puddle though, only where one side of the car hits the deep stuff. Oh, forgot to mention... not deliberately. Just driving normal, car coming opposite way.. hit puddle.. no fuss. I have done it once or twice deliberately though. To be honest i've never heard of this stunt going wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Blimey, I was 17 ffs, in a £300 POS sky blue escort with a blown HG I wasn't doing anywhere near the speed she was doing, I was doing about 25 at most as I'd only just pulled out of a junction, the puddle was deep though so the desired effect was managed with a very low speed We were all young once, and anyone that says that they never ever messed around in a car when they were younger is talking out of their ring piece As for stuffing the supra into a wall, she doesn't come out of the garage if its raining, so the chances of me doing it are slim to none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Important lesson learned by the kids there I feel, stop fffing about on your mobiles and pay attention, don't stand by the kerb where there is a big puddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
