what's the most hilarious/weird memory you've got of your car?

[candywhite12]

time to lighten up... let me start this one with a checklist of things that have happened to me in the past year or so

1. your car's alarm goes off, you think it's the neighbor's car so you lie still in your bed until you realize five minutes later that it's your car, but only after you've woken the entire neighbourhood and you've got people calling you 
2. you decide to give your mom a lift to her sister; your mom has made some goodies to take, full of syrup. 'Don't worry son, it's safe to hold it in my hands'... two minutes later, there goes the alcantara 

feel free to add

Me seeing me ar5e with my GTD on the dyno on run 250 something and reversing off it in a rage only to find I'd collected the exhaust extractor under my car

I dropped my wife off shopping so she could quickly run in and pick something up. So I sat there in the car park waiting for her to come back. After 25 minutes or so I was getting pee'd off waiting and noticed her approaching in the rear view mirror. So I put the gti in drive mode ready to shoot off..... However as my wife was carrying loads of bags I decided I'd get out the car and help put the shopping in the boot. So in haste I got out the car forgetting it was in drive mode. So the car starts to drives off and I'm in blind panic chasing after it and only just about managed to regain control before it hit something. Pheww it was a bit embarrassing

story moral: wife, shopping, and the gti can be a thrilling combination

It's not a Golf story, I was in my mum's Freelander which I'd borrowed as I needed it for towing. Instead of reversing the 6 metre trailer 300 yds down a tight street to a mates house I was adament I could spin it round and get it on his drive in the small turning area at the bottom of the road. They were adament it couldn't be done.

Whilst doing the last little shunt I started to get cocky, then right on cue, me reversing a bit too much, knocking the neighbours' (who don't get on!) wall over, all 2 foot tall of it by 15 foot and falling in one slab before crumbling into a mess!

All whilst the neighbour was stood outside watching with all my mates in stitches!

This is not a Golf story but I remember it as if it was yesterday. Many years ago I had an MGB roadster and in those days did all my own servicing and maintenance on my cars. Was working under the bonnet inside the garage and had forgotten to put the handbrake on, whilst leaning under the bonnet the car started to roll back, I tried to hold it by the bumper but no way I could stop it [The garage had a slight incline] couldn't get in the car so had to let it roll out of the garage [where the incline increased to about 20 degrees  ] by the time I got out of the garage the car was on its way down the slope at a rate of knots. I still don't remember exactly how I managed to do it but, I caught up with the car, opened the door and got in whilst it was moving very quickly and stamped on the brake before it hit anything - I swear I would have beaten Usain Bolt over 25 metres

Not me but a friend (no.... really) on the way to Ikea Thurrock, was throwing the correct change into the bins at Dartford tunnel - chatting to the wife - drove off too soon and that's when he found out the barriers at the tunnel were (are?) only polystyrene, ripped it right off!... Then AT Ikea, filling the estate up with flatpack wardrobes - discussing what a Pratt he was at the tunnel - slamming the bootlid down to find the packs didn't actually fit the car, smaaash.....!
This was the same car that his daughter asked "Daddy, shouldn't the number plate be the same at the front AND the back of the car"?
Lucky for him it was a company car and all fixed at no cost!

my mate and i got pulled over 2 houses down from my house 2 months after we passed out tests. my mate already had 9points which he got before he had a licence and if either of us got nany points we would of lost our licence.

When we told the officer how long we have had our licence he decided not to give us any point and just give us a telling off. he let us get one our way tho afterwards. we got in out cars started them put them into first gear drove forward a few yards then turned into the drive! was shi77in myself as my dad would of killed me if he found out. lol
