BIGKEV Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 MK2 Golf pulls up next to me, exchange of knowing looks to each other, Each begins to rev, see the adjacent lights flick to red, eyes on our lights, Revs up Clutch in, Amber and Throttle Cable falls off the pedal. puts Hazards on, opens door, waves to the 15 cars behind me, fiddles with throttle cable and pedal for 20 seconds, gets back in car, So I'm at the lights.... Motorbike pulls up next to me

BIGKEV Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Posted June 18, 2009 Who's Baz lol Embarressed - not at all - I had a bloody good chuckle all the way to work I have no probs at all about holding up traffic - its quite a regular occurence
BIG G Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 At least you now have a new breather system and catch tank mate
Mr2Caps Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 At least you weren't in reverse....True story, down in east sussex a few weeks ago, been an accident on main road out of Rye, road was blocked, so turned around and went via country roads, quite a few people had had the same idea, went down this country lane, pulled up behind young guys in 3 series convertible, and presumably their mate in front in a 206 convertible while traffic sorted itself out coming the other way, guys in convertibles were shouting at the oncoming traffic and generally being complete arses, revving engines etc, when road eventually cleared in front guy in 206 floors throttle, which would have been fine had he not been in reverse at the time! Not sure guy driving 3 series was that impressed with the peugeot bonnet mascot he had just aquired....couldn't offer any assistance too busy laughing!

Mr2Caps Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Ha ha Toad - American Graffiti. Yup, bit like that! Shame on me for not making the connection between American Graffiti and a 3 series convertible and peugeot 206, obvious really now its been pointed out!
