"And then the kerb just stepped right out"
« on: 13 March 2012, 16:12:44 »
Tip of the day - if you're maneouvring around a tight car park with high kerbs, and you go "ooh, that's getting a bit close"... always stop, go back six inches, then drive out without incident.
 Don't go "ah, I'm sure it'll be fine" and hit the kerb. "WHACK... pffftpffftpfffft" went the tyre. Luckily it was due for replacement in the next month anyway... I'm currently rocking the one-steelie look...

>hangs head in shame<

Almost as idiotic as not noticing the lightbar and "ECILOP" written on the bonnet of a car following me out of a car park and up to 80mph on a single carriageway...

In my defence, I wouldn't have been in that car park if Woman had directed me to the correct one in the first place.

And the sun was in my eyes.

No, wait, I'm just a clot. £220 lighter for my trouble.
