Well after getting my old 90 up and running with a V8 in it, I decided to take it for a test drive



.............but 10 minutes in to a test run miles away from home I kept getting a vibration, I had replaced all the brakes but hadnt put the wheel nuts on ALL  :shock:  :oops: the wheels ....Thay were in nice tidy pile back home :shock:

When I first passed my test, I was driving my cavalier thinking I was the dogs danglies.....  My mate saw a crowd of young ladies he knew and convinved me to drive past while he stood on the passenger seat waving out the sunroof.  Just as we got close, a police car came round a bend the other way!  

Got stopped, got a written "caution for dangerous carriage of passengers".  My mate thought that was hilarious till he got an on the spot fine for not wearing his seat belt!  Luckily the copper had a sense of humour!

And why is it that you can drive for days and not see anyone you know, then the one time you happen to be standing by the remains of your car, breathaliser stuck in your chops, half the residents of your village drive past?

Happened one day on my way back from town in my Focus, with the missus in the car. Went round a bend that I've never had any problem with whatsoever, normal sort of speed for the wet conditions. Next thing I know the back end is kicking out and I'm facing the embankment on the other side of the road. Very quickly end up looking at the fence back on my side of the road, with a rather crumpled Ford Focus. Luckily no injuries worse than a scratch or two. Actually saved me the job of selling my car, which I was about to do to buy the Disco, and the insurers paid me more than it was worth anyway!

And luckily it was a very helpful, friendly policeman who turned up. His words were something along the lines of "Now obviously if I wanted to look further into this, I would probably be able to find some reason to charge you, however you've lost your car, your insurance premiums are going to go up, and you've been shaken up, which I think is enough to get the point across.". Then when a car pulls up, he looks at my face, "What's wrong?" "That's the ex, seems someone has sent her to pick me up." "As if you haven't suffered enough!". And on top of that I lost my 2 years NCB, my original quote of £500 fully comp on the Disco went right out the window :(

Was extremely lucky then that noone was coming the other way. If a car had been heading towards us, the better half would not have got out of the car. And if it had been a lorry... *shudders*. That caused me a few sleepless nights that thought. Really got the point across that just because you haven't crashed in your first 2 years, you're not invincible.
If only I'd had the Disco then, it would have gone straight up that bank rather than bounce off...
