The funnest time in a car you have had

[Pirate]

To off set the serious car discussion it's time to talk about the fun experiences your've had in a car.

The best thing that ever happened to me in a car happened at the summernats where one of my mates made friends with that can only be described as a "cock head". He looked like the dude out of the movie Two Moon Junction with a great big (I shit you not) permed fuck off mullet and built like a brick shit house.

Man was that guy so full of himself. He drove a very nice white white chev (not sure what year, but it wasn't a 57 but it was close to that year) and he girlfriend was miss summernats (fucking hot, thick as pig shit). I wouldn't have minded him much but he was one of these fucks that what ever you have done, he has done better and he allways has to do one better that you. Also, the fucker wouldn't take me for a ride in his car because he didn't want more than four in the car... but eventually on the last day I was there, I did get a ride. In the boot.

Not in a closed boot, it was open and I was cruising around in his marvelous car but soon he stopped and came around to the boot telling me he "couldn't fucking see shit because the boot was in the way" so I'd have to walk. Fuck that I told him, I was heaps far away from the camp site so I just go in his car and told him to drop me off. He relucently agreed when my mates piped up in my defence.

As we drove back I noticed the seat was getting a bit warm. Pretty soon the seat felt it was as hot as it would be if left in the sun all day.... oh something bad going on here. It was made even more aparent that chaos was about to be unleashed when smoke started to pour out between the stitches in the sears leather fabric.... I waited a few seconds and then let out "HOLY FUCK THE CARS ON FIRE!!!" about 3 cms from the cunts ear.

Brakes, swearing, doors flying open.

Mullet man ran to the back of the car and opened the boot and smoke poured out. He then ran back to the back seat and ripped it out of the car and threw it to the ground. The fire had only been small and localised to the back rest of the seat. But it was healthly on fire and making a lot of smoke.

Now there is one thing people should know about the summernats. Its a car show where V8's run supreme therefore the class of people it attracts seem to be more interested in beer than water... matter of fact the small amount of water you'd find at the summernats is in the form of ice to keep the beer cold. Now this cock head obviously had spent to much on his hair treatment so he didn't have money for an extinguisher, so he had nothing to put the fire out except his thonged feet.

After he burnt his feet a few times a few good sports came and helped put the fire out by pouring their beers on the flames.... hmm burnt fabric and beer...yum.

The fucker then started going off at me for knocking the wires in the boot and starting the fire. Yup, what ever.. if I was in the way of the geek back then I would have been chanting "OWNED" at him. But man, was he pissed. So not asking for another ride I cut cross country back to my camp site, packed up and went home with a huge smile on my face.

[Cassa]

Well let's just say people probably don't want to sit in the backseat of my car...

j/k

Seriously though, I don't know if I could pick one single time as the best time I've ever had in a car, because there's a lot of them, but owning people in the corolla is always a shitload of fun because they get really offended.

[Goat Boy]

One time me and three friends dropped acid drove around in my Dad's car, he's got one of those talking cars, we're tripping, the car goes "the door is ajar".

We pulled over thought about that for 12 hours.

"How can a door be a jar?"

"Shit I don't know but I see it, I see it."

"Why would they put a jar on a car man?"

I'm not proud of every moment in my life, alright?

We got pulled over tripping on acid one night, pulled over by the cops. Don't recommend it.

Cops don't appreciate fish driving around.

They frown on that.

Long night, man. Cops were tapping on this window. We're staring at him in this mirror.

"How tall are you?"

"A liddle cop, look at him!"

"How does he drive that big fucking car?"

"Urr, there could be thousands of them, shit!"

"What are we gonna do?"

"Let's put him in the jar."

Made perfect sense at that moment.

Put him in a jar, poke some holes in the lid, leave him by the road.

"You'll never get us copper. Haha."

"We'll send some little firemen to let you out."

"Hey I bet they know where the miniature golf course is!"

"Boo! Haha.. Fuck it, they scared us."

"Son d'you wanna stand up please?"

"I just found the driver."

"We don't need a driver, we're playing miniature golf."

True story. Now, later, when I was released [laughter] I mean spiritually... Oh God.

"I need to see some ID."

"I'm me, he's him, you're you."

"Put your hands against the car please."

"Which one. The UFO, the unicorn or your cruiser?"

[polite]

I was in the passenger seat of a Kombi van returning from the West Coast of S.A.
My mate Dave said, "want a cone brother?" I did.:)

I drifted off, watched the road, the fields, the odd car or farm truck passing by, very relaxed,cruisy:cool: He then reached down, looked at me and said "could you grab the wheel for a sec mate?"
I did.
He then climbed out the window and sat on the roof rack for the longest minute of my life so far at about 90kmh.
The prick had a brick on the go-pedal which is why he reached down. How that steering wheel never broke under my grip is a testament to German Engineering.
Kinda funny, maybe?
:(

[thingy]

Couple of things, nothing spectacular. All listed.

* Beating a 200SX off the lights in the ZBus.

* Dropping the clutch at a set of lights in the wet in the ZBus, and having it start moving back and to the left ... in the direction of a Merc with a very scared driver ... all of us in the ZBus laughing our heads off, me slowly dropping the revs so it gribs and start going forwards again.

* The day we discovered you could get a VW Beetle sideways.

* Best drift was back in '96 (before drifting was :cool: ), Epping Rd just where the M2 starts at the top of the hill, turning left at the lights. Radio blaring, didn't realise how fast I was going until I was almost in the corner ... perfect 4-wheel slide out to 10cm or less from the median strip (kept on regaining & losing until I was at that point, then regained permanently).

* Getting the bug on 2 wheels. In DeeWhy turning right at a roundabout, started pushing through it, drifted a little then it gripped, so I thought "fuck this", floored it, up on two wheels she went. My mind didn't panic in the slightest, my thoughts (calm as fuck) were simply "Hmm, I'm up on two wheels. How do I get myself out of this situation? Where have I seen it before? Oh yeah, at the Royal Easter Show, the stunt drivers when I was 5 years old, they counter-steered", so I counter steered, landed, and brought her to a stop. My best mate in the back-left seat was going "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK (etc)", while myself and another mates GF in the front passenger seat were laughing our heads off (partially at what had happened, mostly at him). I have never been able to drift properly since, the bodyroll gets me remembering back to that day, paranoid, and so I let off.

* Any trip on the Old Road, Putty Rd, Mac Pass, GOR on my motorbike.

I was reading it going, hey!, this guys bullshitting i've heard this somewhere before, just couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Good old hicks.

[nosedog]

One night I drove my mates down to the Belmont 16's and got shitfaced. I left my shitty silver Datto in the car-park and got a lift home with one of my mates brothers, who came and picked us up at about 1am. On the drive home, we noticed the cops were doing an RBT outside of Belmont hospital. "Good thing I didn't try to drive home" I thought to myself.


So anyway, next afternoon I woke up, hungover as a bastard, seedy as all hell, and there is a knock at the door. "Hello, my name is Constable Williams and I'm after the owner of a shitty silver Datto"


me "err, that's mine - what's happened to it?"

cop "can you tell me what you did last nights sir? "

me "Got pissed at the 16's and got a lift home. Why? "

cop "Well I was at the RBT at Belmont Hospital, and I saw your car approach the RBT, do a U-turn over double yellow lines, and then drive away at high speed. I gave chase down the the 16's carpark, where I saw some youths running from the car. Now do you want to change your story?"

me "(Gulp) errr, no. I got a lift home with my mate's brother. I didn't drive my car at all. "

(At this point I'm thinking that some fuck has stolen my car and got me in the shit)

cop "Listen mate, I don't belive a fucking word of that. Your voice is shaking, and you look guilty as all hell. If I find out you've done this, I'm gunna charge you with drink driving and neg driving"


So after another 10 minutes of questioning, which I spent denying everything this dude put to me, he got in his car, said he was going to go ask the bouncers in the 16's car park if they saw anything, and if they could describe me, he'd come back and arrest me. I then got a lift down to the carpark and found my shitty silver Datto in the exact same position where I parked it, doors locked, no sign of hotwiring at all.


So later that day, I ring up the copper at the station.

me "when you said you chased my car down to the 16's carpark, was it in sight all the way?"

cop "no"

me "and did you get the number plate before you lost sight of it?"

cop "no"

me "So you were chasing a shitty silver Datto, lost sight of it, and when you get to the 16's, see my car parked right out the front in the carpark?"

cop "yes"

me "so it could have been any old bastard that you were chasing?"

cop "yes"


Fucking cunt. Not the type of thing you need after a big night on the piss.

[Drakin]

Down south at Dalmeny near naroma, theres a 22km dirt track running round the inlet..

I love this track. I've done it three times in a row, its awesome.

The fav thing is to take the charade upto the lookout (deadend track off the inlet track.) pick the speed up to about 60-70kms on the compact dirt, then when you reach the end of the track theres a nice wide turning circle. Adjust speed, apply handbrake and throw the wheel.. hmmm dirt spray :)

Getting sideways round a few corners is fun (sketchy but fun)

The other rocking thing south is that you can literally drive onto the headlands and sit on the cliffs next to your car and smoke some cones.. then come back up the highway and drive through the cloud banks... Woohooo im flying! :weed:

Indeed.:D

[nosedog]

Another funny story was one night when my mate was giving me a lift home from the uni bar at about 3am. He was driving his dad's new falcon, and at 3am in Newcastle you could practically sleep on the roads there's so little traffic. So he attempts a few land speed records on the way home. We were driving along the Esplanade, which goes around the top of Lake Macquarie, and he nudged it over 140kmh. Unfortunately, he also hit a kink in the road and a bit of gravel, lost the arse, and spun the car three and a half times. We were both super lucky the bastard didn't decide to roll or go into a tree. Anyway, while we were spinning, a dark green commodore was oncoming, and had to pull over or else drive into us. As we drove off, he did a u-turn and started followed us. My mate started to get real paranoid, so when we got to my house, I dived out of the still moving car, and he sped off. The commy followed, and halfway down my street he turned his flashing lights on. Turns out the guys in the Commodore were detectives, who eventually let him off with a warning and a talk to his parents. Lucky bastard.

[kyuss]

i found this enjoyable....

Driving back from newy to the gold coast han solo style one day, and this car is tailing me for awhile, anyhow we drove togethor for around 20kms or so till finally they clicked it up a notch and sped off (when they over took me i noticed the passenger glanced over at me).

A further 20kms down the road i come to Kyuss's secret passage, which i turn onto and speed through as fast as the old navara would go. We'll as fast as i felt was within limits for her on the weaving country road.

I turn back out onto the pacific highway, drove for a further 15kms or there abouts and no doubt in my rear vision mirror the same car tailing me earlier is starting to gain on me. (They would have been sitting on around 20-30 clicks over the speed limit).

The pull into the right lane and start to over take me, and i look up and see the bloke in the passenger seat with the biggest WTF look on his face. I just put on a big cheesy grin.

[Drakin]

Ah the joys of leap frog on the F3, we played this with another car on our way upto seal rocks. The backseat was asleep, just me and my mate packing pipes in the front, barrelling along the f3, overtake a car full of girls, 5mins later they do the same.
So i put the pedal through the floor and chug upto 120km's and pass them. This continued until we made it past newcastle and they turned off, we all waved goodbye and headed off.

[DrDivad]

Man, the Tr0wn crew has soooooooooooo many stories i don't even know where to begin!

There was the time we stuck street signs on my car to be 'full sick', or the time we exploded a BBQ chicken and hooned off,
the time we got arrested, the times we went to ye olde bonut circle, the time i rear ended prong, "Teh Adventure" when the rest of the gang ended up in a chase with some iditos and they jumped on jaemus's car, the various times we've had time trials and drift competitions over the speed bump near the public school,

oh the list goes on

[kyuss]

Last time i drove up from newy to the gold coast i had the most absolute dumbest chick fucking with my mind.

She was only young, a little older than i (anywhere from 18-22 i guess), and id be cruising along at around 15kms over the speed limit, and anyhow this dumb bitch would overtake me and then sit 5km's over the limit, come to a overtaking lane she would speed up, so i had to drive at around 130kmph just to overtake her, id get out of the OTL and then slow down to 115kmph where of course she would sit on my arse, then OVERTAKE me again! and then settle down to 100-105kmph during times where it is impossible to overtake.

This stupid arse behaviour lasted one more round untill she tried to overtake me again and i just sped up looked out the window at her and gave her the big Fuck Off finger and a real dirty arse look and of course, a mimed "Fuck You".

[Pirate]

"Back in the day" when I had my gemini (it was foolly sik) me and my mates would duck down to the hornsby quarry and tear it up in the gravel... we'd spin the car, do burn outs etc.

One night we stuck around a bit too long and the security guard turned up in his Rav4 and we scooted outta there as fast as we could, this guys started chasing us with his security guard orange lights flashing and this weird ass siren going off.. I think he was pretending to be a police-cop. We had a fun chase around and outta there and he chased us a fair bit but we eventually got a way.

The unfortunate thing was this security guard was the same one that did security for my newsagency and I saw him every morning.. the tosser wore a beret.. I mean come on. What a prong. But luckily he showed his true security guard brain power and he never put two and two together even when he saw my car. What a dumbfuck.

[Grizzlee]

2 short stories:

1: A mate of mine was designated driver, cause he just doesn't drink. Night went well time to home, we all piled in to leave. Pulling out of the carpark RBT stops us.

COP "Sir can you please count to ten into this"
Now my mate being sober and a smart arse answers
MATE "(insert sesame street tune)1, 2,3,4,5 6,7,8,9,10 11, 12"

Strangly enough Mr cop didnt see the humour and continued to inspect the car. What do you know, he didn't let us go until he found a defect.
Well we laughed...my mate didn't.

2: Cruising along in my old Pug 504 with the g/f in the passenger seat. I cruised around a corner only to see g/f leaping from the vehicle, passenger opening to full extent and a big friggin spider on the window.
The best part...no not the part that the door never closes properly anymore or the fact that seeing the g/f scared shitless...the best part was the spider was on the OUTSIDE of the car.

[Princess]

I have two favourite moments.....

Burnouts in the school carpark while the juniors were still in class, hanging out the window going "woooooooooooooooooooooww"

I picked 2 VERY drunk friends from the brewery who found the need to shout things such as

"Look behind you"
"I ahve new socks on"
"The world is ending"
"I recomend the chicken"

to EVERY pedestrian in sight... as we got closer to home and pedestrians were more sparse, the trees bore a strange resemblance to people and so, were yelled at.....

i was very pissed at the time but looking back now it was fun fun..............

[DumHed]

I used to like yelling things like "Have a nice day!" to people, which freaked them out a bit.
One time we got an immediate response of "fuck you!"

A quite fun thing once was driving an old Volvo station wagon around with clints crazy bargains flags out each window, or maybe the time we put 2 12" subs in the back and drove around the local shopping centre (Castle Towers) past all the fooli sik homies while playing Vanilla Ice and C&C Music Factory :)

I've had a lot of fun driving my various Silvias along country roads in the past.
Thunderbolts Way from Gloucester to Walcha is a favourite, as well as the Old Pacific Highway, Galston Gorge, Putty Rd, and the various national parks closer to home.

On the first zgeek cruise it was quite fun overtaking an audi TT and a porsche in my rotbox Gazelle ;)

Then there's the large amount of track driving I've done, which really is some excellent fun. There's nothing like having a GTR tailling you for a few corners, and it then spinning off into the dirt :)

Yeah I overtook an Aston Martin DB7 in my 94' Nissan Navara just the other day. ;)

[Hired Goon]

Part 1: Driving through a cross intersection of the Princes Hwy outside Geelong at 100km cos my mate at the time didn't see the stop sign. Eerily - it was a lot like the TAC commercial, but we didn't die. Turned around to see a stream of traffic coming by. My other mate was just yelling "Fuck Fuck Fuck man - Fuck!". Suprisngly - it was a bit of an adrenaline rush. Wouldn't do it again, mind you ;)

Part 2: My mate driving his 1980 Cortina around the damp school oval. Not donuts as such - just pulling on the wheel and doing a near 720 is great fun...

Part 3: There's a bit of road down near my folks place affectionately known as the "Race Track". It's an 80 zone - but fully enclosed and low risk for speeding. Putting the car through that at 140 is no prob - and fun :)

Recipe for fun and disaster

1) Get old FWD car

2) McDonald's Tray's under the back wheels

3) Handbrake on

4) Wet Oval

5) Let mayhem ensue

[BlueBoy]

Copied from other thread:

I was nighttime 4 wheel driving in a sand quarry not far from here about 6 years ago. The car was a 1986 soft-top Suzuki Sierra, with homemade back seats (with proper seat belts). 4 of us in the car, me in the back left-hand side. We were driving on a dune that normally would end in a nice decline. Little did we know that it had been cut away! The car went over and fell 9 feet straight down. The bullbar dug into sand and the car tilted forward and rolled twice before it twisted and flipped sideways two more times. The car landed on it's wheels, the roof had caved in and the bar holding the soft-top up had wrapped around my head. I have a 3 inch crease in my head from it.

[BlueBoy]

Oh and I hooked an original Gameboy up to a friend's car stereo and drove around town playng Tetris. :D

Why a wet oval when deserted roads and carparks do quite nicely?

A similar thing happened to my mate when we were in his skyline, Some woman in a falcon(well I think fairlane maybe) would keep speeding up as we tried to overtake, when we finally got past her she ran some other poor car off the road to get back with us, like she had some complex about a Japanese car beating her Ford.

[scathing]

In my first car, I rushed a set of lights on a busy intersection, and with my worn rear tyres I locked up entering the intersection.

I decided to turn the wheel anyway, which got the back well sideways. I decided to stomp on the gas and hold the slide across the intersection. It was a nice piece of work, even if I do say so myself.

It was all good until an unmarked cop car pulled me over. I had my "scared as shit" expression on (thankfully I'd just remembered to put my P plates back on after 4 months of not using them), and the cops let me off with a warning.

I get the feeling they probably wouldn't be quite so lenient if I didn't have those opaque rear shades blocking the view of me high fiving my passengers after the drift.

[SamBo]

Most fun I've had in a car (so far) was the time I got my pulsar air-borne whilst driving along a dodgey unsealed road
I was in Bathurst at the time and my then gf was at uni so I had bugger all to do except drive around. I managed to find this old dirt road that was pretty straight, so, I decided to fang the shit out of my car along there. I got it up to about 110, maybe slightly more, when the road suddenly sloped up, then doooown. I got the whole car airborne and landed with a rather loud crunch (anyone whos been in my pulsar knows that the lowered suspension on it aint the best).
I skidded to a stop after landing (bringing up shitloads of dust) and just sat there for a few minutes breathing heavily and shaking with adrenaline. I so wanted to go back and do that again, but I was worried I would kill my car (not a good thing to do when you're over 3 hours drive from home!).
But fuck, that was so cool :D

doing the same thing in the daihatsu was pretty fun too ^__^

[Lurgen]

Funniest thing that happened to me in a car took place after a serious night on the piss...

... I woke up in one.

That's not so unlikely, not even rare really. Except the car was in New South Wales, and I could have sworn I started the night out in Melbourne.

Took a lot of explaining, especially since I didn't know half the people who were with me.

[KrisEz]

Stinky Ford Adventures:

stealing a bubbler

carrying 5 passengers (1 in boot)

getting mega sideways at lights

speed hump time trials

airborne.

Silvia cruise radio quote "somebody get that fucking ford off the road" - i still had a better gorge time than some of them.

Stinky Van Adventures:

putting 2x 15" subs (chortle DumHed 12") in the VAN and cruising parra maccas late friday night playing busta rhymes.

getting a van sideways over a roundabout yelling abuse over a CB at the same time.

tailgateing some fucker in the wet, he jams on his brakes for no reason, and i go sliding off the unsealed edge road narrowly missing him and he drives off, i have to stop , get out and sit down im shaking so hard.

filling up the tank 3 times in one day on the companies card

Z of Awesome adventures:

the cursed Z drifts, every passenger crashes afterwards.

the Z+MRZ roundabout challenge

Sideways

Dirt roads.

Z adventures are sure to continue....

I used to own the hatchback version of the Suziki Mity Boy. 796cc 3 cyl motor went hard. No back seat just a hatch over the tray and 2 seats in the front.

Anyways, one night I asked 2 people if they wanted a ride home from Cartrights Hill. Normally one in the front with me and one in the tray. This night I ended up with 7 people in the car. 3 squished some how in the rear, one in the passanger seat, me in the drivers seat, a chick straddling the gear stick (1st and 3rd were all I was allowed to use :P) and one lying across the three of us in the front.

That was bad enough until the person in the pasenger seat decided they needed a chunder and couldnt hold it in as I was passing of all things, the Wagga police station. Thank fuck none of them came out to see what was going on.... she was awfully loud whilst chundering.

I managed to bump uglies in the back of that thing one night too :) :) :)

The other great moment in my time was a full pelt lap around Mt Panorama...... WEEEEEEE! sucked in to the idiot who went 'one last lap'. I decided one lap was enough and turned right at murrays corner and exited as the boys in blue came lights blazing. :banana:

[ersatz]

I brake for tailgaters :D Nothing like the look of the guy's face in the flashy car behind you when he's shitting his pants; either that or gradually slow down to a crawl. Seriously, they piss me off.

Getting some in the back seat of my 1st car, a beatup '77 2 door Civic (now that's Hondamatic)

driving the same car around toward the end of its life, when it had no rearview mirrors, the bumper held on with a chain and a tree-sized dent in the front. It would only blow smoke out the front when it was idling.

[Blunt]

Well lets see what I can remember.......


1. "Spudding" and "Gnoming" - two sports invented back in highschool after the first mate in the group got his P's. Basically, Gnoming started out as the capture and/or destruction of peoples stupid fucking garden gnomes but it evolved into going up to peoples front doors, making sure the security screen was locked, then knocking and smashing the the garden ornament right in front of them when they answered the door and using the time for them to open the screen door to bolt and jump in the awaiting shitbox car and burl off. Less popular friends were double crossed and left for dead. Ha ha! Spudding was the less imaginative but equally satisfying practice of buying sacks of potatos and then lobbing them at people and cars. We were very bored little teens.

2. Doing 140kms in a 50km zone, down the mainstrip of downtown Newcastle at 4am, getting pulled over by cops and told to "knock it off" and sent on my way.

3. Passing a 4WD yuppie bastard on the Pacific Highway from Newcastle to Sydney, and seeing his wife in the passanger seat with a camcorder, rather rudley filming me for ages. I found out that you can drive at 110kms, steer, and hang your arse out the window. Amazing!

4. Again, driving to Sydney for ZGeek related mayhem and spending the 1 1/2 hours listening to 'Skeletor VS Beastman' on repeat in the effort to learn it off by heart by the time I arived. It worked, much to everyones annoyance to this day.

5. DumHed. Silvia. Gorge. Fast. I don't want to talk about it anymore........I WANNA FUCKEN DO IT ONE DAY! That was my only ever 'Itsuki' moment in a car. "AHHHH! TAKUMI!!!"


Thats all I can remember now. Cars are fun.

I used to have a similar car. It was called a Suziki Hatch (when we tried to insure it, the insurance company had never heard of such car). Had the 2 front seats, and a small "boot" area". Was pretty old, was a faded yellow colour and had just an AM radio. What was really odd about it was it had a digital speedo :p

Anyway, I had that car when I was on my Ls (round 1). That car was so fucking light, that one time I decided to see how fast I could go when going straight through a roundabout. I managed to get the car onto two wheels :D
I don't think I had ever heard my mother swear so much! She was reluctant to take me driving after that :D

[mysterious-dr-x]

when i was a learner i use to love overtaking people & stuff, just because, lets face it, who wants to be over taken by a learner?

there was this one time that i met a mate at a sevice station/garage across the road from town, now when i say road what i really mean is duel carrageway during rush hr. see, my friend had his bike, & i not only had a fiesta, but i had a full fiesta. when we were at the round about my mate pulled up beside me, & decided, since the window was open, that just before i pulled off he would grap hold of the window & let be drag him across this road. totally unexpected. i was laughing so much im suprised i didnt drive into the round about.


aw shit, when i read polites it reminded me about a story of something a friend did, & now i cant remember for the life of me what it was!


theres also a story about my dad at uni. he was a passenger in this car, cant remember which one, if your that interestind i can find out, the point is that they were driving along this road on the way to nottingham, & somehow, not totally sure how, they ended up with the left wheels on this wall. & i dont mean on the top of the wall, see, this wall is about 6' now, the story goes, according to my dad, that the guy who was driving was 'falling out' the car due to the angle & the fact that it was an old car. apparently my dad was attempting to stear off the wall, & stop this guy falling out. they came off the wall, ran across a patch of grass with trees on it, managing to miss all the trees & carry on driving. i assume at some point they checked the car for damage etc.

The other great moment in my time was a full pelt lap around Mt Panorama...... WEEEEEEE! sucked in to the idiot who went 'one last lap'. I decided one lap was enough and turned right at murrays corner and exited as the boys in blue came lights blazing. :banana:

I've done that a few times. Makes for a good mission when you decide at midnight to go from sydney to mount panorama and back :)

I've found you get 3 laps before cops show up.
One lap to check for hiding radar guys, and two flat out laps with big drifts onto the pit straight :)
After the third lap it's straight out onto the road doing the speed limit as the police drive past the other way :D

People waiting down the bottom reckon they could hear me all the way over the mountain. Stupid straight through exhaust :)

Getting air on the alambie heights to pittwater rd short cut..

The road slope steeply down to a cross intersection where the road is flat, after this its another steep drop, making this road an ideal launching point...... Apart from the 6 lanes of traffic at the bottom.

I was in the passenger seat with a friend at the wheel and two in the back, we hit the jump at about 70km's and launched into the air, when we hit the car's bottom slammed into the road and let off a huge set of sparks, the car then proceeded to bounce back into the air.. we didnt make the stop for pittwater road and shot out across 3 lanes, into a slide and across the next three facing into traffic, then into the fence on the side of the golf course..

But you dont need to have a car to have fun on the road with cars.. I have a mongoose push-scooter with 12" pneumatic tyres and full front/back brakes with a reinforced frame. I used to go down forveaux st from the top, no brakes.. top speed clocked 70km+..
(clocked by looking in the drivers side window as i passed them :D)

I also had fun one night coming back from the city, it had been raining and the roads were slightly wet, coming down george st, the set of lights was red and there wasnt anything on the road so i decided to go through it. At the last moment though i realised there was two cars coming into the intersection. Slamming on the brakes caused the front wheel to lock up and slide to the right causing the scooter to crumple into the floor, leaving the scooter and taking to the air i managed to jump the wreck that was the scooter and land on my feet. Not that my shoes had much grip, and with the wet, i proceeded to slide behind the first car and in front of the second car. I made it about 3/4's of the way through the intersection before i stopped unhurt, shit scared with a BPM of around 4000, but gladly unhurt.

Shame the intersection is the one with the irish pub on the corner down haymarket way, Shame also it was St Pats day...

I collected my scooter from the other side to cheers and whistles from several hundred drunken louts that had watched my spectatular brush with death..

Some of you are sad if this best time you have had in a car is overtaking someone! WTF?


The funnest time I've had in a car was a roadtrip up to byron from Bathurst. Me and two mates, a stereo, lots of beer and weed and an open highway in front of us.

I remember laughing the whole way up, and it stands out in my brain as a really good time.

Try owning a Charade 3cyl 954cc engine. Now add into this that for some fucking wierd reason all the overtaking lanes in australia appear to start on an uphill point of the road.

If you overtake your happy.

If you overtake a high powered porsche in a charade you would feel proud too..

Hell, i feel proud if i beat anything at the lights..

I used to live near there. I have been a passenger in an excel! and got air on that hill. We stopped in the 2nd lane. Thank Christ there was no on coming traffic. However that was no where near the most scary thing I been present in cars for.

Blunts stories remind me of a bazaar prank I saw. One night we were bored so we went for a drive with some boys we hardly knew but liked. We were lost in the middle of suburbia and decided to stop. The driver went for a walk and came back with a stolen a rabbit from some ones back yard and put it in the car and no one said anything. We left and continued to drive around aimlessly until we stopped again and he took the rabbit and was gone for ages, finally he came back with a puppy put it in the car said come on lets go. This continued for a few hours stopping every now and again while he went swap the animal for a new one.

The best time I have had in a car would be the bazaar conversation that happen every morning on the way to work between me and my flat mate. Driving anywhere with my best friend with music blearing and yelling also rates.

I was being sacastic (even though i did overtake an aston martin db7), i was trying to point out the fact that any car can over take a good car.

But as for the good car full blast against the pez/semi allright car with the pedal to the metal, its of course, a totally different story.

it was fun overtaking people on the zcruise because I was driving a dodgy old gazelle, and I overtook them on a windy national park road at high speed. They seemed somewhat offended that they weren't able to keep up, even in their turbocharged AWD expensive euro cars. It's always fun putting poseurs in their place.

ive had quite a few fun time in cars, and not always when driving.
my second car was a HZ holden kingswood. the car had a heaps of leg room in the front area and as it was an auto i only needed to use 1 foot to drive, the other i just curled up under seat or half rested on the center conssole. my gf ( god bless her ) decided on a long drive up the coast to give me a nice relaxing headjob. needless to stay , i quickly found a nice picnic/park area to lay her down on the back seat and repay the pleasure.
mind u, vinyl seat covers wash wipe clean real easy, but get real sticky /slippery with sweat
iv also camped in the car a few times, goto love the long bench seat in large older cars.
another car i had was an old shitty honda accord , i paid 1000 for the car, and drove it halfway around the country, syd-brisbane-adelaide-melb
its was nothing to look at , but mechanically it was fucking great. b4 it succumbed to the rust monster!

in our school days a friend of ours used to have a mini. we would then take it out to boat harbour ( near kurnell ) and thrash it around on the sand dunes, if u got i bogged , u just get out and lift it back onto the harder sand. the only problem was that if u got too much air off a dune, u would have to remember to crouch down so as not to bash ya head on the roof as the car hit the dunes again

Dragged a Turbo Supra in my bog standard lancer once and won.
It was purely through the other guys incompetence though.
He was changing gears way too early and not getting much use out of his turbo for it.
Best time in a car would have to be Coming down an off ramp.
Normally I drive alone and so I'm used to the way my car handles with just me in it. At the time I'd been driving for about 1 year and had 2 passengers. So the big fat guy was in the back seat and me and my fair sized cousin were in the front. Came down this off ramp marked at 60 and was doing about 80 still and got my car sideways. Fortuneatly I stepped on the accelerator and had put the car into 3rd at the start of the corner so i was able to power out. It was damn cool. I didn't panic, but my cousin freaked out and wouldn't get in my car again after that.

I wasn't in the car at the time...and it wasn't funny for me anyways, at the time.
Here is a pic of my 2 month old Pug 206. This is what happens when a handbrake fails.

The lettbox you see..its the only thing that stopped the car from keep on going. Oh and there is only 1 tyre touching the ground.
