I have loads of these and I suspect that this thread will either be embarassing or very funny.

 

A couple of my own little challenges :

 

1) Car Park Barrier. To get into the car park at work, I have to swipe a card through a card reader to get the barrier up. I am not allowed to stop moving forwards while swiping the card through the machine.

 

2) Indicator matching. If I'm sitting behind a car with indicators on and have no passengers then I have to flick my own indicator on and off in time with the car in front and mustn't get out of time ?

 

3) Motorway lane changes. I'm not allowed to touch cats eyes.

 

4) Wipers on intermittent - I have to predict where I'll be when it next wipes.

 

Why ? I haven't a bloody clue.

 

Am I weird ?

 

Dave

 

Hey up Mr. Hairy

 

Nope, I am the same with the indicator thing, but I don't manually try to match the car in front just sit there staring at the car in fronts indicators and listening to my own clicks to see if they are in time! Fookin' sad or what?

 

Am the same with the lane change thing though, hate going over cats eyes...poor things...must be loadsa cats out there blind with crushed eyes. ROFL

Hehe I thought it was just me that had the Automotive equivalent of Tourettes Syndrome

 

)-Stuck in traffic and listening to Radio One - tapping the brake pedal to the beat of the music and hoping the guy behind is listening to Radio One also and wondering why the fuck my brake lights are flashing to the beat of his Stereo LMAO

)-Im OBSESSED with getting the intermittent wiper setting to JUST the correct setting to clear the rain JUST EXACTLY at the point where I cannot see where the hell im going

)-Never EVER getting the rear view mirror adjusted perfect (common one methinks )

)-Endlessly trying to find the right balance between Snooper Volume and ICE volume

)-Carrying on from the last one, being endlessly paranoid that the beeps coming from the Techno on the ICE are ACTUALLY the snooper telling me to slow down

)-Farting then sniffing it and hoping it doesnt knock me out

Yes you are weird

It is a pre-requisite for owning a Zed hehe

In hysterics at the other end of the Ether ROFLMFAO big time You nutter!

 

 

Any clues on getting the intermittent wipe to work? Mine is on or off.

Should be the knob for the wiper moved one click and then turn the dial thing that sticks out of the end to change the timing

 

Clear as mud?

 

Hope so

Driving challenges.....

 

Well....

 

Seeing how far I can drive with my eyes shut (only for the brave, and a straight line too!)

 

At night driving doen country lanes (usually the Birmingham Rd) and turning off my lights and driving by moonlight!!

 

I do the indicator thing also.

 

Trying to guess the wipers (front and back) to work at the same time.

 

Not to hit the cats eyes when switching lanes

 

See how many times I can get into the wrong lane and beat everyone else to the otherside.

 

Same as Glenn, the fart thing but I usually sem to save all my best 'ripper's' for the leather....

 

Pick my nose without being caught by drivers coming the other way.

 

Taking off my coat whilst driving.

 

Use my left knee to drive whilst I have my arms folded, Cooks lane is my favourite one to perform this magic.

 

Open a bottle of Lucozade, this happens every saturday afternoon on my way to football, oh and I also take 3 pro-plus as well....

 

I think thats about it......but I shall be backand post any others that I may have forgot about and do automatically without thinking whle I'm drivng.

 

Ar us Z owners off it????

 

 

Matty.

Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

thats all to difficult for me. i just try to pick my nose in sync with the person in my rearview mirror

you mean to tell me that none of you guys smoke a cigarette and spank the monkey while steering with your knees ???

my little quirk is 'perfect tailgating' - when not in overtake mood (not very often), I like to pick a flash type car (prefer BMW's the drivers seem to get more pissed off) then follow their every move...

change lane same time as them, into fast lane, back into middle, speed up, slow down - the challenge is to keep the gap between you and the car your following the same all the way... I eventually get bored and just overtake!

 

 

Matty, I can relate to FAR too many of yours !

 

Used to do one with a mate. When we were following each other, one would go to the far right of the lane and the other to the far left. Then at some point one of us would switch to the other side of the lane and the other had to swap sides as well.

 

Sounds petty and stupid. It is. And I laughed throughout every time !

 

Dave

 

You bunch of weirdos!!!!!LOL

Sod this, I'm going back to my padded cell......it's safer there.

 

Laterz,

Van

If you wanna right laugh, drive past people, girls, old folk whatever and bib the horn! Wave, and you'll piss yerself when people wave back straight away! Not even having a remote clue of who you are! Childish but a good laugh....

He He Timmy, I've done that many a time.

Here's a few.

 

Trying to get sideways out of your favourite T junction...and looking in the mirror to find the car you just pulled out in front of is a copper but somehow he didn't notice.

 

Always stopping at lights in the outside lane in case you get a race but you never do.

 

Pulling up near every Porsche, Ferrari etc knowing you can wup their ass but they are always boring and never rise to the occasion.

 

Switching the Auto box to Power mode at the lights to outrun a Nova... (to save embarasment just in case he fitted a V8!)

 

Trying to settle into a cruise attitude to save fuel and it only lasts 5 minutes.

 

Scaring the shit out of passengers just for the hell of it.

 

Arriving at a drive through and wondering which exotic sports car they will think it is today... Is that a Bugatti EB110 mister?

 

Spotting a caravan on the motorway and seeing how fast you can pass it. Looking in the rear view mirror to see if the blast of air blew it off the road.

 

Using your radar detector to run other drivers into Gatsos that only you know about!

 

Bragging about how bad your fuel consumption is.

 

Chris ya cheekey monkey...ooooo ahhh ahhh!

 

Was driving home yesterday, A55 and it was dark...no lighting on de road...a car comes flying up behind me..."Shit" methinks...rozzers...stays on me arse end for miles so I just stick at 75 MILES PER HOUR...he got the message and flew passed! I don't like stealth cars, so I played the game, but when he got passed I see he's just an oldish Cav. SRi...so game is on...foot down and see ya! 120 awaaaayyyyyyy!

 

Always practice safe peeps...I do! LOL

Constantly adjutsing the electric seat to see if I can make it even more comfortable.

 

Playing with stereo to check all adjustments are as I set them.

 

Fuel conservation for about thirty seconds.

 

The break light in time with the music thing.

 

Cats eyes.

 

Gatso hopping.

 

Auto power mode at lights (just in case)

 

Reversing perfectly into spaces. Can save a lot of embarisment in tight high streets. Especially as everyone is already looking at the Z.

 

Probably more but can't think of any.

 

Tim

Driving Thru Gatsos at 120mph that you know are not live as Snooper didnt beep beep beep.

Then realising you forgot to switch the Snooper on so it aint gonna frickin beep beep beep ... oops.

Oh yeah I love the Gatso baiting thing, do that with bloody Vectra travelling willburys - slow down to irritate them, then speed up (letting them keep up so they think they are gonna roadkill a Zed) then at about 120mph timing it perfectly so you slow down and they flap on thru and get a picture taken of their nice-shiny-crappy-silver shouldn't mess with a Zed asshole Reverend Terence of the Fuckwitt Vectra slap on the wrist Gatso. God my Englsih is Bad.

:)

I didn't until tonight! On my way home I started to try missing cat's eyes and guessing when my wipers were going to go.

 

Thanks Guys

I must admit.

 

you guyz are making me friggin paranoid.

 

Everytime I turn my wipers on, I'm guessing.

 

Everytime I hear a squeek, I shit myself.

 

If, I'm gonna park the car anywhere, I park it 3 miles away, in the middle of no-where, where there are no other cars, and guess what? When you come back to it, some f*cker has parked right next to you.

 

Give me strength!!!

Realised another one today that I hadn't known about.

 

Every time I drive the Sierra, I have to turn the bass up one notch just in case the speakers aren't crap any more.

 

WTF ???

 

Group buy on padded cells ???
