showing off by getting it sideways on a snowy patch and hitting a kurb knocking my alignment out..

there is a curb near me i used to try and get closer and closer too. One day after a 12hr stint at work tried it and of course went too close. Head hit the ceiling and it cost me £47 for a new ditchfinder :( Wheel also has a hooooge unslighlty weight on the outside
 
Sitting in traffic a month or so ago I day dreamed. The lights had suddenly turned green I then realised and floored it...only to go absoloutely no where. I then tried to jam it into gear too fast and was greeted by a massive CRUNCH. Man I felt like a tit.

Crunched gears a few times recently I feel like a right wally after doing it :p
 
I reversed my mini into MrSix's CBR400 the other day, i had been moving the car all day on and off the ramps, forgot his bike was even there+no mirrors and i reversed into it. Luckily no harm done:p
 
17 in a corsa! Not long written the first car off mind. My mate was slagging the corsa, o is that right, i bet you 20 quid I can get this sideways right round the roundabout, bet was dealt.

Approached the roundabout about 60, quite a tight one at that, brakes 2nd gear GAS!!

Needless to say it went sideways and right round! Facing the wrong way on a roundabout, had to back round the wrong way.

Also toke the corsa to a field, near Edinburgh airport and rallied it about. The most fun in a corsa ever.

Now I have grown up and will never ever do anything like that again........ in a corsa.
 
Got caught being 'intimate' with a women! The shocker was, I got caught by her husband! :eek: :o

Driving wise. That would have to be going down Campbell Rd and peeping at a couple of nice looking girls as I went past. Only for me to hide my face as 5 mins later they walked past my car with the front end crumpled to buggery against a factory wall. :o

Bet that was a surprise! Never been caught before have done it outside her boyfriends house! :eek:
 
Not really a silly thing, but in a company vehicle a few years ago, I reversed in a farm yard and straight into a 12" RSJ supporting the barn.... Boss was not happy, the vehicle was 2 weeks old :(

Another thing I did, in my trusty first car, a 1.3 Metro (ooooh I hear! :D ) I had a leaking clutch master cylinder for about a week, which meant I could do maybe 20 gear changes before I needed to stop and replace the clutch fluid, cue lots of pulling away in 2nd and staying in 2nd :)
 
My uncle, back in the 80's, was a delivery driver for Plum Centre. He had a delivery at a 17th/18th century mansion and the 7.5 ton lorry was never gonna get through the gates but he had a go.

And ripped them off and damaged the lorry:D


He's managed to roll a tail lift transit and still drive home. Apparently it was a bit..........twisted and pretty much written off.

Thats not cars though.


Me personally, talking on the phone, in the snow, corner comes up, car doesn't steer and goes in a straight line up the kurb and into a bush.
 
Lost control on a roundabout in the rain, hit into the wall of a garage, whereupon the roof collapsed onto the residing Mercedes.
 
Missus did the funniest thing a good few years ago.

She was approaching a large roundabout when someone cut her up. The guy then blasted off left at the roundabout. In a fit of rage the missus beeped and stuck her fingers up watching him drive away to the left, then promptly drove right over the centre of the roundabout :D . There were tyre marks in that lovely grass for weeks afterwards !!!

She damaged the steel wheel on the old Uno we had too. Silly Silly woman ! She's learned to calm down now !!
 
Eying up two young ladies and then driving straight into the back of a parked van. The girls had a good laugh at my expense.:p

Whoops!

I have seen other people do that, last one I remember was coming into Wakefield once, some rough women outside a nightclub at 9am and I had stopped, the guy three cars back didn't, the women found it highly amusing :D

LOL, I bet that was imbarasing :D .

I left my boot unlocked all night, went down town in the morning, pulled up sharp at a turning and woundered why my rear view was black! Boot had flung up :o:D
 
Getting behind the wheel after a few too many drinks. I'm sure almost all of us are guilty of that one.
