I decided tonight that I am avoiding picking up my mates in future when they are all hammered. :mad:

What with one of them messing with the stereo and the other three in the back screaming and acting like idiots, I managed to hit a big pothole where I lost concentration, which didn't sound very nice at all :( No damage done though I hope...

Even after shouting at people to calm down, they don't seem to realise they are at speed in a tonne of metal and could get mangled if it goes horribly wrong :(

Just had to vent, sorry :(
 
Heh, last time i did that i ended up almost buying a new stereo cause the drunken idiot changed the fade settings to front speakers only and i thought the internal amp had it as the bass and volume were well weak, did'nt think to check it and it was a 'by the way' check before i went to ebay for a replacement.
 
no not at all, but what do you expect ranting on this forum to achieve?

You'd be better of ranting to your tree in the garden. You wouldn't get idiots like me responding firstly!

Fair enough.. the whole thing makes it not very surprising to me that so many young drivers end up crashing while loaded up with mates and stereo/sub up to earth shattering levels ;)
 
Last one i picked up had a Chicken Tikka Naan Wrap, told him if he gets it on the seats or doorcards ill give him a slap, got out of the car and all looked fine, went in the car the following morning and the doorcard was covered in it :(
 
Buy an Elise, VX220 or S2000 etc. problem sorted:p

That's the idea ;)

Is there anything I can look out for/do to see if my shock(s) have been damaged by the pothole - I hit it at about 10mph and there was a nasty thunk on the rear driver side:(

No food or drink allowing in my car, with the current fuel situation its probalbly only worth £1200ish but it is still always clean and smell free inside.
 
I actually put my dad on the curb when he opened a sandwich to eat in my 525, the Focus, maybe but not me new baby :p waited for him to eat it though :p

If it doesn't drive funny then it'll be fine. But definitely be firmer with your mates in future, people generally know not to arse about in my car!
 
my mates dont even have to be drunk to do this, thats why i avoid giving lifts at all....

I think I'll follow your lead until I get a 2 seater :) Driving on your own or just with a bird is much less stressful. :)

Drunk mates trying to get you to do stupid things, one of which is shouting "******* FLOOR IT! GO ON!" are a pain in the rectum ;)

Cheers... I'll get it checked anyhow by a mate as I'm uber paranoid :D
