So, be honest on this one, but whos tried to pull off....

[X-pack-Glyn]

A trick move in thier car whilst trying to look cool and manage to completely balls up in front of a public audience and look a complete tit?

 

there have been a few i can think of but the one that sticks with me is hemel magic roundabout, 3 litre auto capri, wet day and remoulds....

 

i managed to completely over do it at a slow 2mph whilst trying to impress a lady MG midget driver, i ended up facing her, she drove by me and waggled her little finger downwards whist i kinda sunk into the seat

My worst one was when I was in my Supersport I was at the local car park, when a coach load of french kids came and stood by the side of the car park. Now this car park was a dusty old patch of ground so in my infinite wisdom I thought to myself, I know I will race down towards them pulll a handbrake in front of them then race off.

 

So off I toodle, pull a sweeeet little handbrake and then race off, to get the flock out of there as there were 30 french kids and teachers covered in dust wanting to hang me, I am wheel spinning off up the car park when I miss the bit of scaffolding tube sticking about 6" out of the ground, this bit of tube catch's the exhaust downpipe and proceeds to rip the whole exhaust off. Im left trying to limp my car around the corner out of sight, where I can remove said exhaust pipe.

 

I then burn my hand trying to remove the pipe which is wedged under my car, chuck this in the bushes and head off home through the middle of town with just the engine running on the exhaust manifold. Everytime I change gear, flames are shooting out the pipe. The noise I was told by my Mum when I got home you could hear about a mile away.......

 

 

 

Oh how I miss those carefree days

in my old mk2 i came into upton upon severn one day over the hump back bridge and right at the mini roundabout. Noticed there was a couple of hot chicks in an golf or sumin in the petrol station opposite so i gave it the beans and put it sideways acress the round about but over-cooked it a bit and managed to get it on the other side of the road (facing the right way) but perfectly parked infront of a lorry! so cool as a cucumber i hoped out as if i was meant to park it there and wondered over to the petrol station (by which time the chicks had gone but there were a couple of fellas pointing and looking generally impressed) and bought a mars bar and a paper even now i look back and wonder wtf that must have looked like from the side of the road

Mine was in about '88/'89 at the height of Madchester, I was home on leave for Friday night in my daytona yellow mk2 Escort. I came to a stop at the trafic lights directly opposite The Hacienda nightclub (where we were heading) and decided to give it some beans from the lights around the corner, unbeknownst to me and to this day I have no idea how I missed him but there was a traffic cop also at the lights but facing me. I tore away, he hit the siren and pulled me over in full view of the club and all my admiring fans

I felt a right tit.

In fairness to Mr Plod though he let me off with some very wise fatherly advice

[orangecords]

[bronze4door]

[Anglia68]

I was sat at a zebra crossing waiting for some yoofs to slowly make their way across so getting a little p*ssed off with them I turned on the nitrous,selected first and floored the f**ker.

There was a god almighty loud bang form behind me and the engine was screaming as the van slowly rolled backwards.

The diff had blown apart and the yoofs were stood there laughing at me.

[PAUL MANN]

[escortmad79]

Back when I had my gold mk2 me & my mates went clubbing in Torquay, I was driving so didn't drink.

It was wet so decided to try & show off in front of my mates, raced down Seaway Road in Paignton, under a railway bridge & just past that is a 90 degree right hand bend so I thought I'd hang the arse end out...

 

I got the arse end out, but a bit too much & span 180 degrees in a one way system. There was a Metro behind me who drove around the corner & saw me facing him.

He sat there shaking his head at me laughing

 

Tried reversing to turn around & caught my exhaust on the curb behind me (Escy lowered 2" with 2 mates in the back) too

Must have been nearly 20 years ago, I was in my 1.6 JPS and alongside me at the lights was a 2.8, with the driver revving it. As he was 4-up I thought I might be in with a chance, and as the lights changed I got the jump on him and he had to tuck in behind me. The moment of joy was short lived as I closed on a pick-up truck and went to overtake, but as I did he pulled out to go round a cyclist in front. My front wing caught on his rear corner and peeled it right off, it only being attached by the welds on the A-post. The gits in the 2.8 turned round up the road and did a slow drive by, killing themselves laughing
