Anyone ever had a really silly moment behind the wheel?

[Jay]

Suppose I can admit to a good one at Kirkistown..

On the first warm up lap exiting the second corner @ 50mph when my steering locks up suddenly.































Fucking turbo timer.

Keys in pocket.

Brown stuff everywhere...:haha:

 

[ChrisGT]

PS. Mine would be spinning my GT twice in the wet going around an S-bend, narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic and smashing into a signpost (as opposed to a brick wall about 1ft to the right.) Was a massive lol!

Driving home a few years back after finishing some night work not paying attention and looking down sorting out some tunes, looked up just as i was mounting the kerb on the other side of the road. It was 3am so noone around.....luckily.

2. Overtaking a car at a shit slow speed got to the side of the car i was overtaking, noticed another car coming on the side i was now on, thinking i could make it easy. SO instead of pulling back i carried on overtaking and only just by the skin of my teeth getting in........ i shit it and by the look of the oncoming drivers face they did as well.......

I'm now a lot older and obviously don't do things like that anymore....:haha:

the day after i bought the civic was down abbot's, had him out in it down a certain road we tets out, dual carriage way, the back end snapped out went one way then the other then back again and a fair about of speed:haha::haha:,

everyone must of give it some, then slow down then the police drive past:haha:, had that a few times coming home from lakeside:haha:

 

[Jay]

Trust me, that's mild. :haha:

That one actually amuses me when I look back. The rest I'd rather forget.

 

[Dan3SGTE]

Too too many stupid things in my time, I would literally not know where to start lol. Soo many stories.

 

[_GAZ_EP85_]

dan the night where you aze and taz on the way to lakeside, hardsholder

 

[ChrisGT]

OH! I got another one from when I had my Punto. Mate has electric gates at his house, he put in the code to open them and they started to open. Me, being a cool dude, decided to reverse out of his drive and try squeeze through them as they were opening. Like most people I was seriously hungover. Anyways, I didn't fit and scrapped the side of my Punto on his gate. lol

Same here i wont even start :homer:

 

[cameroon95]

The turbo timer incident liek jay, thats happened to me before at a burger king drive through. I'm like-why the fuck ain't this steering?!:haha:

I also thought i'd be a cool guy and try and drift the glanza at the bottom of my road a few years back, completaly lost the tail end-totally shit myself!

 

[lingl9z]

First day of driving my mk3 fiesta I took my mates fence clean off! forgot I had it in gear, lifted foot off clutch and it shot forward a fair bit before stalling leaving my mates dad in a rage.

 

[Beaker]

In my Renault 11 when I had just passed my test. The accelerator cable got caught on something and it opened the throttle full. I know its easy to just put the clutch in but I had about 2 seconds of shitting myself with my brain going overtime to try and work out why I was getting faster without any feet on the pedals. Stupid renaults, but now toyotas do the same thing.

 

[y3Lo]

fitted my coilovers on the weekend, and only did the wheel nuts up finger tight, went for a drive to test them about and luckily half a mile up the road my friend asked if i had done them up, nearly shat myself lol

 

[nitish]

Well I was cleaning my engine bay a year ago and took out the air filter and fix it back without paying attention it was having contact with the battery borne. The following day driving back, without having any problem in the morning on the way to work, got overtaken by a workmate who was yelling at me there's sparks coming on the asphalt from my car, then realized fumes from the engine bay and car knocking a lot. Got out open to find out wires burning and small flames...had to tower the car back home after and do the wiring again. :shoot:

 

[Hazzagray]

I did the old driving the wrong way up a road at ladymead n guildford was turning right and ended up going up the wrong road at bt 2am, eventually slid around and took the right road.

Or when i was learning, turning too early into a road and crunching the side of my mums car against a gate! then thought it'll be fine in a minute and carried on....mum wasnt too happy and made me shell out a few quid for her!

 

[Sparkie]

Here u have to take the roundabouts counter-clockwise, but one day i took it clockwise lol

luckily for me, it was late in the evening and i didnt saw anyone (so i hope that no one saw me ) and there was no one hurt. but it sure scared the shit out of me :haha: just 2 much thinking bout other stuff

good to read im not the only one doing such things

 

[Kelly]

Done so many that im always thankfull that nothing bad has happened and someone must certainly be watching over me.

I once drove through a light on accident (there never use be lights there and i was on auto pilot from the old road layout)

And i have managed to drift (and recover) my GT on a roundabout that scared me too death!! Was the main reason i did a skid pan day shortly after!

 

[rb69]

When we last had a decent amount of snow I thought I would show off my drifting skills giving my Mum a lift into town. 8 o'clock in the morning, still half a sleep on the first corner that comes out of my street going downhill....."Watch this Mum!!!"

It would have been the best drift ever if I had 20 more feet.



And there wasn't a kerb there.



And someone with brains was driving.
