Title: This place is getting dull again!
Post by: Glen on 16 October 2003, 21:49
Come on people, the MK3 forum's getting like the garage up top, all spanners and no play!  C'mon lets hear some tales of heroic MK3 capers, or some contraversial topics.  I for one are getting fed up with reading about ECU's (whatever they are).  I did the fastest speed topic and the long in the tooth poll anybody else got anything to say?
Come on, especially you southerners cant all be about polishing your cars and bragging about how much your houses are worth!

I had my car covered in the corpse and entrails of a deer 'exploded' by the Shogun speeding the other way on the A33 a few months back.

But I have a mk2 - so I'm on the wrong thread . . . . :P

lol!..

a young deer jumped out in front of me up on the quantocks at dusk time when I was learning!.. didnt scare me at all, i just braked and drove around it.. but nearly gave my dad (aka co-pilot) a heart attack.. lol

years ago i know someone who hit a deer and wrote off a montego on the a38 (taunton -> minehead road). treacherous enough road without wild animals leaping at ya! it was in the early hours.. 4am or something.. apparently there were lumps of umm.. venison steaming all over the road.. they said the rspca cleaned up the mess

cant recall hitting anything alive, but have had a few crunch moments hitting cadavers

We had a peugeot 504 when I was a kid - built like tanks, they made a volvo look like fibreglass kit car. But it was no match for a shire-horse. Hit one straight on and wrote the car off, bloody horse just shrugged it off and cantered down the road.

Not a road death story (u sick fcukers :P) but there were 3 of us in a scooby wrx - ugly uk model with about 215bhp. anyway, another mate in his golf vr6 which is totally standard apart from a easier breather induction kit.

it kicked the scooby's rs....

ok.. well this guy was a laborer of somekind (and also a bit of a stoner) and was driving his works van home late one night, and he hit a cat, he got out of the car and seeing it lying in the gutter he thought if it wasnt already dead he'd better make sure so he put it out of its misery, so did so using a shovel. now here's the nuts part.. days he later found a squished cat in the wheel arch of his car...

that is SUCH an urban myth!!!

Did your 'mate' also:

get struck by 'yellow lightening' - found dead with a hole in his heart surrounded by a pool of piss?

put two pencils up his nose during an exam and bang his head on the desk?

get caught with margarine on his pee pee trying to get his cat to lick it off?

Wake up in a bath full of ice with his kidney missing?

Have a room mate who was a medical student?


etc etc etc

Iwas going to leave the story as it was because your endings were alot more intresting.(except one name no names). ;D
But all he done was went back and foward afew times till it fell of and just left it at the side of the road.
cheers about responding about the alloy but iam looking for some like foxs evo 4.
