same landy coming off A14 about a year after doing around 60 - 70 MPH pushed the brake pedal it hit the deck so i pumped it still nout had to runn straight oer the junction and round a que of cars on the Fly over :oops:

my 2A did that once. I managed to stop milimeters away from the car infront after yanking the handbrake up. It made some horrible noises and I almot stained the seat.
Once i had rebuilt all the braking system i had to take it off the road again to replace the transfer box which now made horrible rattly clonky noises all the time (I think the emergency stop broke some teeth off it!)

Been there with my old Astra. Hit the brakes for traffic lights and the pedal went 'clonk' as it his the stop. Just closed my eyes and aimed for the grass on tother sied. Needed a new master cylinder and 2 new front wheels after hitting the kerb.

Back when Dukes of Hazzrd first aired over here I had a 2 dr Mk1 Cortina complete with air horns and twin aerials and dixie flags (yeah I know).
Parked outside the shop in the village street in the middle of summer I came out of the shop, dodged the holiday traffic and launched, as was the way, through the window aperture.
Looked really good up until my foot got wedged through the steering wheel and I laid half in and half out with the traffic skimming past my ear trying not to drop what I'd bought, while my missus-to-be and our mates fell about the place. She still married me, bless her and even now, never misses the chance to tell it to people that may not have heard the stiory before! :oops:

When I was in my youth I had a Red Triumph Spitfire, great fun to drive.
I got it during the winter and it was fitted with a hard top so I kept it on till summer. Any how sun comes out so the hard to came off and the soft top is fitted.
First run into town with my girlfriend, soft top down we have a run down the high street and go to turn left into a side road, at that moment a large bloke steps into my path, I hit the breaks and give out a volley of swear words... forgetting the roof was down :shock:
Yep had to get out of there ASAP before i got hurt!
I also nearly killed myself and a mate in it... 1 triumph Spitfire + new doc martin boots = scary stopping or accelerating, you were never sure which peddle you were going to hit.

out with a few mates when i got my first 90, just fitted with simex and all the stuff, mates all driving novas and micras..
We went for a little 'race' around part of the moor which is a one way system in a loop around the resevoir..
sittin in second place following a mate arouind a a 180 degree bend.. i backed off a bit as simex arnt great for doing sharp corners, seemed to grip ok so hit some of the loud pedal only to be faced by my mate pointing back down the road having done a nice spin...
I tell ya now, simex are s**t at stopping fast :lol:
Luckly no one was hurt but i ended up having to tow him home as my
bumper pushed his engine back... :shock:
Live and learn i spose ! we all found it funny in the end :lol:
We used to do industrial grass cutting, used to do this one office block which had really steep banks, but lots of very nice office girls, showing off in my banks machine (48 inch wide cutting deck, will drive on over a 45degree sloap) didnt see a drain sticking up in front of me, machine did a pretty impressive flip in the air, then down the bank into the office wall :oops:
