Not driven the car for a while so decided to take it for a blast. Roads still a bit wet so driving apropriately.

Come to a major roundabout on the A6 near Horwich and decided to get a bit sideways - overcook it and end up facing the on coming taffic. Bad! Cos I a'm diagnal no traffic can get past so its building nicely and there all staring at me. The car has now cut out due to the battery terminal being loose and coming diconected. So I have to flip the bonnet and mess around before waving to the crowd of on lookers and driving away - possibly my uncoolest moment ever.

 

Please share similar embarrassing situations before lack of cool forces me to swap the car for a fiesta.

Muwhahhahaha not as bad as yours but, its 11.30 one night in december roads are icy , take my friend out to go look at cars for him to buy. So time to show him the TC.

Lights change and i pull of turn to the right and burn it - two 360s and we come to a stop 2mm from the side of the pavement in the bus pick up zone, with a few people waiting for a bus lol. Felt like a tit.

Mark,

 

I have the same tale of woe;

 

I was travelling home from my cousin David's house at about 11am (Had a large night out!) with my other cousin Matthew, I was in my old 200SX, the weather was damp and said to my cousin as we just got onto the dual carridge way which was a slightly bendy start (Which I was still on) "Let me show you how fast she pulls"

 

Cue big rear end slide at 50mph, controlled sort of which meant us facing on coming traffic who all stopped, I went very red, waved and because of the embaressment I floored it too much (F1 stylee spin round) smoked the tyres, stalled and had to re-start and drive on now I was facing the right way, I booted off as I didn't want anyone to see my face when passing me.

 

.....2 weeks later.....

 

Chatting to a girl in my local and she says "saw you the other week" I said "where, in here?". "nope" she says, "facing the wrong way on the dual carridge way"

 

Gutted..........but still managed to hve my evil way with her!!!

 

 

Matty.

Two real bad memories :

 

1) 17 years old, no licence, driving to school in my Mk 3 Cortina (colour coded wheel trims, enormous Ford sticker in the read window, plastic grills on the spotlights - we're talking a classy machine here). Using backstreets to avoid the coppers and come to a corner and see some girls from school. Never tried it before but seen it on telly ... so go for my first rear end slide round the corner. 2 seconds later my bonnet is imbedded in a parked cavalier. Whoops.

 

2) New years eve a few years later (morning not evening), recently won my first kart meeting so I just know that I'm the best driver in the world. J8 M25 roundabout heading to Reigate in my 325i decide to see how far down the A217 I can keep the back end out. Answer is approximately 12 feet then hit the kerb and roll it and land in a ditch. Dent every panel including roof, bootlid and even the petrol flap. Panic escape out of passenger window (which is above me) to be greeted by police who were informed of the incident because traffic monitors watched it on camera. Whoops 2.

 

Dave

Recently, I was working at Edinburgh Uni and decided to take the 300 to work (weather was fuck'in A).

 

So, drive in to the Uni, everyone looking at the motor, got the shades on, looking Mr Cool.

 

As I turn into my parking space, this group of scantily clad, tight top'ed females are standing nearby.

 

Unfortunatley, I forgot about the 20 foot, 15 ton skip that my contractors were using!

 

Head on into the side of the big bastard. At that point, the world must have gone silent and heard my crashing.

 

Twat, is the term, I believe!!
