what are you not proud of

About 6 years ago, me and my bro-in-law maxed out my GSXR600 and his Ducati 748 up the A40 from the Polish War Memorial to the services just before Oxford. We were followed very closely by my wife and my sister in her new Celica.

I think the journey took just a few minutes.
 
seen as i am in the confessions box when i was about 18 i drove my RS Turbo through my local village at around 60 / 70 mph with my friend sat on my back spoiler. he said he couldnt lift his head up off the back window

I drove my 320 BM down a local lane to me at around 100mph over taking two cars on the way. when i went to overtake the tractor and trailer he decided to turn right as i tried to get round him i missed and went through the bushes and into the field. so far they pulled me out across the field and out the gate with a tractor. not the same one he just kept on going. i think this little trip cost around £2k aaah the fun we had in or teens.
 
went through the middle of 2 overtaking lorries on a clapped 99 R6 Haga Rep...at about 140... i was only 17.. used the restiction loop hole.. and then went.. "oh look howe asy the silly little restricter thing's come out of the carbs". year later hit a car at 80 broke me leg in 5 places.. now have a nie new metal shiny knee
 
Is thread with open confessions about speeding, drink driving, handbrake turns really a good idea on a publicly accessible forum?
 
I don't think plod are going to fly out here and nick me for doing double the speed limit 6 years ago without any proof.
 
When I was 17 i decided to change the discs and pads on my yellow 123.

Went on a test drive and got about 2 miles from home when i heard an almighty thud and I had no brakes.

Has anyone ever tried to brake using handbrake on an old W123?! Not good..

Anyway got 30 seconds from home when an astra in front suddenly stopped to turn right... there wasnt enough room to get past so i mounted the curb... passenger mirror hit a tree.. drivers mirror took the astra's mirror clean off... both my mirrors survive to tell the tale...

Well i couldnt stop!

Apart from that, im sure we have all driven well into the hundreds on a clear motorway..
got to stretch the V8's once in a while.

I regret fitting a Peco Big Bore 4 to my 1.2 Nova when I was 17. I must have looked like a right prat.

Fitted a twin exit magnex to my broom yellow punto GT.

It was so loud it could wake the dead, but not loud enough to stop an Audi A4 rear ending me when sitting in traffic a few weeks later.

Needless to say i put a standard exhaust back on:o

Went flat out down the outside of a huge queue of slow moving traffic in the E55 once, couldn't see what was at the front, only to find it was a horse drawn funeral cortege. The horses didn't like the rumble of the V8 one little bit! Ooops! :devil:

Nice snowy day ....with a mate in my Alfasud....wanted to show off and do a handbrake turn as we approached the bend. Said watch this as a little flick on the handbrake will bring round the rear.....................
:doh::doh::doh: How was I supposed to know the handbrake on an Alfasud applies to inboard discs......on the front.

We went straight on through the hedge..........:o:o:o

Are you sure that's not you in the canal with the cone on top of your car?
 
No -- that was a German Traffic cop -- when he came out of the pub late at night he mistook his sat nav -- thought the blue lane was a road....oops...
 
I am not proud of the fact that I once drove over the feet of a man dressed in a Pink Panther suit who was collecting for charity at a petrol station. I was trying to get my car near to the pump and didn't realise that his real feet inside his "paws" were so long and I drove over them causing him to howl loudly. Highly embarrassing and my childrten never let me forget it.
 
What was the title of this thread? "Things I am proud of..." ?
 
I once bought some Ring Hi Power spotlights from Halfords for my Mk1 Golf 1.3.


I'll get me' coat.
 
executed a wicked exit from inside lane of a 4 lane island to outside lane of exit dual carriageway: some guy was attempting to pilot around the outside lane & caught me just before passenger door - rover 75 spun aroung in road bouncing of kerbs with front end missing: no one was hurt, but ended up in court for c£8k losses; i won, ncb intact :D

its not what you know - but what you can prove :doh:
 
I've done much much much worse.

I actually admitted my CLK270CDi had an AMG badge on it when I bought it - and I drove it .... aargh
The scorn pointed at me was not pretty. AMG badge hastily removed.

Now I wonder if the knight rider lights are in the roofspace somewhere. Might try fitting them to the CLK
