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

[Thom89]

Going round St George's roundabout in Leicester many years ago in my Rover Vittesse twin plen, on full left hand lock!
Drifting before it was a sport

Mine was identical to this, colour was called Moondust iirc, take away the quality issues these cars had, they were the most rewarding cars to drive, and performance that was very close to that of a Cosworth Sierra...

Going "grass cutting" at over 120mph on the Nurburgring in my old ED30, whilst overtaking an old caged and stripped out BMW M3.

When I was waiting outside a shop for the mrs ,some women jumped in the back and said hurry up because she had to get tea on,i said hello ,she jumped back out just as quick as she got in,i watched her then get in a car the same colour as mine behind me,it was dark though

many moons ago...after just passing my test...i worked for a small garage, and my boss told me of a car that was coming in, in part-ex, but it was scrap to them,if i wanted it, i could have it..WOW i thought.....so off i went to collect my first "set of wheels"..(it was c1987) and there waiting for me was a British racing green vauxhall viva, 4 door..1100cc.... eventually it started, and i set off home, after a couple of miles, i came to a straight.."time to open her up"...foot down, nothing happens except it gets louder...at the next bend i started to brake...peddle goes to the floor! ..grab the handbrake...does nothing!...bend almost here...i start frantically pumping the peddle, pressure finally returns, but I'm pressing so hard with both feet to stop, that the front floor pan falls off and all i can see is tarmac! It rained on the way home and my trousers got soaked...looked like I wet myself...still laugh about it whenever I see an old vauxhall...

Not me, but a friend - had booked a cab to take her to pub - hears a diesel pull up outside house (which is on corner of a junction), rushes out the door and jumps in car and says to driver "such and such pub please".  He replies "oh alright then love, don't mind taking you but I'm not actually a taxi" (just some bloke in a diesel who'd stopped at the junction) - Cue her return into house red faced!

[VW BUSH]

Spraying WD40 on my old vr passat to try and find the leaking HT lead and setting it alight, bonnet lining and my eyebrows went up like a rocket and a full Co2 extinguisher was used in the panic.
Keep my water in plain squirty bottles now

I used to be a baker which meant very early starts and not being very awake.
This was when I was still living with my parents and I always drove forwards into the drive , on this one occasion the night before I was unloading something from the car so I reversed in.
Next morning I get into the car, put into reverse. *BOOM* reverse right into my parents house. Ooops.
