Stoooopidest thing you ever did in a car?

The bonnet of my knackered mini flew open at about 60 on the A23....wound down the window and drove on to the petrol station a few minutes down the road!!

Would have thought you'd learned after the first time it happened.



Fordo!

 

way to many to list

one i remember which was quite funny(not at the time! )

on a private gravel car park in my nova doing a continuous reverse donut,cop drove on to see me!

obviously i stopped and he waved and shouted me over,all my mates went very quiet to listen to what he had to say...

'repeat after me,i am a dick head'

'you?(cough),I am a dick head'

mates = bwaaaahahaha

 

me in a 1l mini and my mate in an old M reg beetle, I was chasing him around a one way system and tried to overtake him around the outside of a roundabout, it went into 2 lanes only there was a removal lorry in my lane open with a ramp leading into it, I was doing about 60 and























mate in the beetle slammed on his brakes and I cut him up and spanked it off into the distance, adrenalin racing

did kinda scare me, as I only missed the ramp by a few feet.

Before going up to Liverpool to watch a Champs league match I was in a mad rush so went to reverse my car into the the garage but didn't open the door!

Got home the next day and got my grandad to give me a hand I said I'd whacked it and when he saw it he said,
"you said you whacked it you didn't say you tried to ram raid it."

close call Gibbothebrit

 

TBH

 

not done the reseting milage thing, but similar!


was bringing a daewoo lacettiback from a garage, went round a right hand bend only for the trade plates to slide across the god awfull dash and wedge itself under the steering wheel!


hit cerb and popped a tyreboss wasnt to pleased when i came back on a space saver!

 

Got Chased by a Vectra SRi police car (whilest being directed by deajam) in my R5 turbo, cut a corner, left him for dead, only then when I saw blue lights a mile back did I realise it was a cop! Got nailed!

 

um, racing a Jetta 16v and Celica GT in my GTI, Came absolutely honking round a big roundabout, understeering like a mad thing, to find a traffic T5 sat watching us all. Balls.

So i took my foot of the throttle....he he, big style lift off over steer past the copper, but i managed to hold onto it!

he rounded us up and gave us all the biggest bollcking of our lives, then let us go. I was papping it big style!

 

sounds fun GTi Wale!

We used to accelarate as fast as we could down my mates estate in the wet and powerslide my old escort around the bend at the end, my mate tried it in his Fiesta and ended up through a hedge into someones garden, oh and drove my Sooty van around a field using the handbrake for fun!

i did the clock reset thing about a week ago for the frst time

except i was doing something stupid like messing with the indicator stalks through the hole in the steering wheel, my arm got jammed in as i had to straigten up

ended up on the wrong side of the road coming to a dead stop, luckily it was a pretty quiet road lol

i think its really funny looking back now, how i didnt think about what was going to happen after i straightened up i dont know!

 

some good ones on here

 

In my first car. A mk2 astra. . Was coming down the A21 if anyone knows the road. turned off as to go into battle where there is a fairly steep hill going up crossed by a railway line, which of course is flat. so there's a nice little jump there. Hit it a bit fast and took off for a little bit. Hit the deck hard pretty hard. bit worried about the car but it drove fine enough afterwards. It wasnt until i'd got further up the road that i noticed that where before the steering wheel was straight, now to go in a straight line i had to have the steering wheel turned a fair bit. Very knackered wishbone.

 

errm, racing an old school enemy down a dual carriageway, then hitting the roundabout at the bottom a little too fast, and launched my car up a kurb and into a grass verge.. right in front of the biggest prick i know

bent driveshaft, cracked/bent wishbone, bent rear beam, 2 dead alloys, a dead tyre, windscreen popped out, broke the front indicators, lost the side repeaters, broke both foglights, lost an arch trim.... still fixing it now *sigh*

i also went thru a set of red lights at a pedestrian crossing 5 mins after i passed my test.. that was pretty stupid...

 

After some batty woman side swiped my mk3 the year before last, 2 days my hire car turned up (a pooty 1.2 corsa). 2 hours after that, i was tanking down a lane, on the phone to my mate saying "this fecking car's pooe - no traction, no grip, no f**k all". Next thing i see a junction - skid, BANG, scrape, spin. Mate says to me "what was that noise". Me - "dude, ill call u back, ive just made a new road through a hedge and into a field".

 

Mate of mine did the steering lock thing early on in our driving carears. We were coming back from the cinema at about midnight with our birds and took the slip road off to where we live. Its pitch black as there are no street lights on this slip road . He goes 'check this out...' before turning the engine off and removing the keys. Stupid thing was that the lights didn't stay on after he took out the keys so it went complely dark! Then next thing you hear it the dreaded 'click', yup steering lock went on and we're doing 40-50 ish down a slip with no vision! He's panicking and trying the ram the key in the lock and get it started and i'm saying press the brake as hard as you can (no engine assist). Well anyway, he manages to get the key in and switch the engine on just as we are about to come the roundabount at the end! Then he goes '...that was fun...' .

You do some foolish things when you young.

 

Mine would include:
>Overtaking a cop car at 97mph. That was just silly.

>Falling asleep in a hire car (whilst driving), crashing into a road marker and having to pay a large excess.

Whole load of other things, one of which I wouldn't dare mention.

 

ive do a few daft things...

mounting the kurb and ran a boy over cos he was pi$$ing me off. ended up being beaten up up to of the hardest kids in my estate the following weekend while playing football for it

Racing a mk4 with my sportline in bracknell, went into a round about flat out in 3rd, got around the round about and power sliding a 4 wheel drift out of it onlt to cross onto the other side of the road, over both lanes into the hard sholder and then went i got the grip back LOL, needless to say ceri and i $hite ourselfs lol

Played 'car tag' though the street of my estate on nite with 4 other mates in there cars, no lights on and driving all over the place. I got reported to my folkes cos i almost ran a guy over hehe
