Most embarrassing time in my F was outside the local chinese take-away trying to get back into the car when the key fob gave up, alarm blaring, resetting then going again - everyone watching out of the window, then getting towed home with the alarm still going - happy days:lol:

 

Sorry mate, but Sue and I have just fell about laughing :clap:

No it was a fortwo. :lol:

Just remember if I end up leading the run, not to let me anywere near an airfield :slap:

 

Most embarrassing (that I can print) in a 'normal' car......
I was trying to impress a girlfriend, she was plane mad so I took her to a local air show. A young and far too good looking lad was directing traffic, he was looking all smug and superior about his new found power. Well being 19 and over loaded with testosterone I decide to drive at him and ignoring his franticly waving arm's I just headed off to the nearest open space.
It was not until I stopped laughing that I notice people pointing at my car and how much space I had.................yes I was driving down the runway!!!!!!!!

Sorry sexy but that has just given me such a bloody good laugh! :rofl:

You should have told her you did it on purpose - chicks dig rebels! :lol:

 

Flirt mode on......I did it on purpose, I did it on purpose.......is it working?

 

Mine was when I was replacing a window cheater and checking on my misfire at the same time, so the engine was running. Fitted the door card, shut the door without realising it had popped the button down and locked the door - so there I am in the middle of the street - hood up, doors locked and keys in the ignition with the engine running. neighbours all out cutting the grass etc. Couldn't get in with a coat hanger or anything - after 30mins got annoyed and cut a hole in the roof. Ended up having to buy a new roof for it, oops.

 

Had a similar thing last night by co-incidence, stopped for a kebab on the way home, and as I was walking back to the car, I walked past a limo, (one of those ridiculos american 30 foot long things), and the driver asked me if I had a coat hangar or similar in the car as he had locked the keys in!

 

I have yet to have an embarrassing moment in Pingu or Misty, but there is one scenario that I can imagine must be very embarrassing.

You pull up at a crowded set of traffic lights with hood down, when suddenly there is a torrential downpour :lol: It must have happened to someone !!

Yes me! twice. i like the roof down alot and ive been court out.
The inside of the car had puddles in it when i got to work and as for my suit..... well it shrank..... i had no where i could pull over n put it up! damb those hood covers lol

 

I got afew.

1 being i didnt switch off the alarm and poped the bonnet up and the alarm went off when my dads head was right next to it.

another stalling in the middle of town twice

and the other was leaving the car in the middle of town with the dog in it and the alarm on. i heard the alarm from the other end off town and when i got back to the car the dog was just sat there looking at me like it was my fault and had about 15 ppl looking at me Lol

I've done that too - except that it was at a petrol station, and it wasn't the dog - it was my son!!!

 

LOL gigling my head off.


i havent had one driving Mabel but i have one from the other day working on her...

I asked my fiance to come and hold some sheeting either side of her windscreen surround so i could re-spray it. ( dont know if anyone has used halfords mix there own paint, but if you have you'll know the nozzle is tiny and really hard to direct ) well anyway...he came into the garage - held the sheeting either side and i aimed the nozzle and sprayed...it went right in his face and all over one arm! i saw the look on his face so i didnt laugh.. i just said sorry and he sighed and repositioned the sheeting. I double checked the nozzle aim and sprayed again and ...it hit him in exactly the bloo dy same place!!!! I just burst out laughing and he did too ...thankfully and he called me Barbara off the royale family and we couldnt stop laughing.

He was sooo funny standing there with one anthracite arm and cheek!!!



the only other experience i can think off in a car that was funny was learning to drive. My ex hub took me out for a lesson and we went to a quiet country road junction to practice reversing. I slowly started creeping in reverse while twisting round to see where i was going and all of a sudden BEEEEEEPPPPP BEEEEEPPP ( we were newly courting then so i was pretty embarrased someone was beeping at me ) i slammed my foot on the brake and shouted "for Gods sake cant they see i'm a learner?" ...looked at my ex and he was peeing himself laughing.
"Its you beeping at yourself" he said, "you were leaning your arm on the horn when you twisted round!"

i felt like a right dipstick!!!! i got a driving instructor after that :O

Something similar in a Transit Van, although I was supposed to be on the runway.

After putting the RHAG (the wire that catches the aircraft if they drop their hook) up at about 6am, I headed off to the other end of the runway to do the same. Thought no one was in the control tower, so was doing about 70mph (20mph limit). It was only when the radio crackled into life and the tower gave me clearance for take off that I realised I wasn't alone. Got a rollickin for that one.

In the TF, must have been when I did the 270 and ended up in the other carriageway across the "fastlane". No one saw it, but still embarassing.

Also when I was driving naked down the A1 in a coach with the Swedish ladies volleyball team, Oh, hold on....................maybe that was a dream.

 

Probably the most embarassing moment for me was when I was coming out of my drive, and had to reverse to let some old lady walk past. Rolled back down the drive again forgetting to put it into first gear. Finally a gap in the traffic came about and there were a bunch of kids over the road. When it came to pulling off, I suddenly zoomed backwards up the drive! Those kids were laughing there socks off as I drove away sheepishly!

 

Now that would have been worth seeing:rotflmao:

 

Most embarrasing moment was when i picked a mate up for a night of drinking... found a nice straight piece of road and opened up the motor to show off a little... hit the rev limiter in 3rd changed gear and snapped the throttle cable.
Stopped and had to call for a tow to get to the pub :s

 

Think Red Devil will need to change his name to Green Devil as well

I used to have a Smart Roadster so I know the power they have, the brabus version can almost keept up with the 135....

Most embarrasing moment was the 180 I did on a roundabout due to cheap tyres in the rear and slightly damp roads, replaced them and not lost control at all.... Also luckily I didn't hit anything....

 

My most embarrassing moment to date is being burnt off by a SMART car ... On reaching the 30 MPH zone I slowed down to the speed limit. The lady in the Black Smart car chased up behind me and roared past.

If you were doing 30 in a 30 then I'd be embarrassed on her behalf.

 

Probably the time i was caught up by another red F, who flashed his lights. I thought "great, another F up for some fun!" so i planted my right foot and did some country lanes at fun speeds (although not illegal).

We got to the main road and he was still there, this time honking his horn as well as flashing so ithought i'd pull over. He then got out of his car and proceeded to rant at me in a real road rage style about maniac drivers and how he lives on that lane and that if he saw me there again he'd report me to the cops!

Just shows you how you can miss-read a situation i suppose. Very embarrassing, and kinda scary too - that someone can fly off the handle like that, i can see how these road rage incedents occur, there are some nutters out there (and some of them drive MGs!)

I held my hands up and appologised - i was driving excessively, so i had indeed provoked him and i was very embarrassed. But it still rankles a little, i am more careful these days and try not to jump to conclusions about other road users intentions these days.

 

If he was still there and keeping up with you then he was in the wrong too was he not.

Any way mine was going to B & Q buying some coving and looking a complete idiot when trying to get it in the car with the roof up (it was raining). Then realising that it just would not fit looked around to see a few people watching (just my luck). I put the roof down and straped the coving to my role hoops and drove off in the rain looking a bit silly. This was also in January so really cold.

To make it worse I got to some traffic lights stopped at them due to being red and the rain turned to snow. I did still love the drive home, you have to love open top motoring.

 

Geez - what a nutter! Probably would have been best not to stop :daft:

 

mine has to be when we did the llangollen breakfast run and on way back i span it on a slip road coming off a round about due to a little over-exuberance with my right foot............

closely followed in second by..........


being seen sat in a GREEN F..!!!..........:tic:..:sofa:

or was it wearing only a kilt on the M60 arctic run at minus whatever it was....

 

Having not had a convertable before, my first trip in the F was to the MOT station and of course I had to have the top down, the plan was to get the MOT and then drive to the post office and re-tax it (thats confidence for you!). Passed the MOT with flying colours (scraped through on emissions!!) and I was feeling pretty smug, as I pulled out of the MOT station three young ladies were walking passed and one smiled and said 'Nice car'. I smiled back and floored it a bit............only to see all my documents, MOT, V5, and all the other paperwork go flying off the passenger seat and out the back of the car!...Oh yes, looking so cool scrabbling around the main road chasing bits of paper with the women laughing the heads off and other drivers thinking I'm some sort of nutter in the road!

 

I have just choaked on my coffee :lol::lol:

 

So, I fly in Heathrow and follow the directions to a car sales company selling an MGF I liked the look of, I walked and introduced myself and the owner threw the keys at me and said "Take a spin, then we can chat". I walked out, smiled, opened the door and got in, at which point the owner opened the door and said "Sir, I think you will find it easier to drive if you sit behind the wheel".

Strange realy, these days I keep trying to get into my Volvo and Mercedes and half the time end up with no wheel and having to open the cubby pretending I am looking for something,haha.

Oh, for those that dont understand, Sweden is home, we drive on the other side, mostly.

 

Ooops!

One glorious summers day last year (yes there were a few) I was taking my then GF back home along the A46. Nice pace, top down and all is fabulous with the world. Infact it was the best drive ever, suns out, I'm in love (lust) and I have a cool red MG ;0)

A few vehicles ahead are overtaking a livestock transporter so I have to slow down and join the que of grey haired drive slowly brigade members in order to overtake the said truck.

We are now doing aprox 58mph past a truck doing 56mph. Infront of us George and Mildred are determined to break through the trucks front air wake in their sub 1000cc Corsa.

Needless to say progress was slow but I was on a high....driving days did not get better that this.

Then Daisy,one of the cows out for her day trip to the pie factory,decided she needed the bathroom..........................

Yes you have already guessed........right alongside my lady companion.

all I'm saying is that yes...we are no longer together...yes the car was valeted.....yes it was warm.....and salty...........
