I suprise a lot of people on the street, that's the cool thing about owning a total sleeper... I own a U13 Bluebird, which is 4wd SR20DET.

Anyways, yeah I've suprised a hell of a lot of commodores on the street..

Best on would be when I had a "Baby On Board" sign in my car, and was racing a VX SS Gen3... I could see him staring at the car and the baby on board sign, and he was just shaking his head wondering why I just munched him by a couple of car lengths

It was hell funny... it's pretty funny when excels and lancers etc try to pick on me, thinking im some slow FWD thingo with an exhaust ha ha ha

Funniest moments in my car, haha, first was when I first got my license and I thought it would be funny to go through McDonalds drive through in reverse. The look on the attendents face was priceless! The look on the managers face, not so priceless! Second was getting busted by the cops with a chick, err, ah talking...

I know this is very silly and immature, but anyway. Ordering TWO mother's day meals ($60) at KFC drive-thru, then running off. Funnier than it sounds. Our record so far is $147 worth of stuff in one night, Hungry Jack's is out main victim.

Okay I've got a few if anyone cares.

#1
Mate just got P's we decided to go to North Bondi for some midnight rally driving 5 of us in an older 323. He lost control at like 60, hit the curb... All 4 hub caps went rolling for ages... We had to find them in total darkness took us awhile.

#2
Same dood, same car... 3 of us in it. Decide to jig school and drive round.... It was wet... car was waiting at a roundabout my mate goes to slow from 60 from about 15m away.... brakes fail... boom. The dood in the falcon and his old grandma got the shock of their life!.

#3
We've all hit top speed on the hwy, or nice straight roads. But hitting 196km over the gladesville bridge (towards city) is something else... (for those that dont know its a steap downhill bridge that is bumpy and leads into an imidiate steep hill). I was passenger... the car was an xe falcon my mate was driving..... We had a mate IN THE BOOT. And the speedo would not budge past 196.... thing was stuck..... The thing was shaking like 747's shake on takeoff...

#4
I've never laughed this hard, while not being involved in something. We'd just seen the the fast and the furious. Being idiots.. 2 of my mates in their parents cars decided to form a precision driving team... I really didnt want to get involved so I was just crusing behind them abit... they raced through a stop sign... and 1 mate decided he'd over take on the wrong side of the road through the stop sign....... woah nice move.....

until my other mate decided to TURN RIGHT at the intersection they were racing through.. BANG.... 1 goes left, other goes right...
Mate who goes right ploughs straight up onto a gutter and footpath. Through a 2.5m gap seperated by some1's fence and a telegraph pole!!.... drove down the footpath for like 20m... He'd panicked and forgotten those nice things called brakes =)

---
Thats all I can remember for now.

[bathurst-91]

Oh 1 that I forgot that needs mentioning.... This was a killer

Me and mates went out (North Sydney). And the dood who was driving had like 3 beers. Pretty stupid. Anyways we were heading home, just got in the car and got onto main road... I was in the back and my mate next to me saw these 2 chicks and he yells out very loud 'SHOW US UR TITS'...... we were in the left lane of the road we were on...... virtually as he screamed it (he was drunk) a cop car (with window open) rolled past us....

It stopped, waited for us to roll by it, then put on the flashin lights..... And wouldnt u know it The copper in the passenger seat was a chick...... hahaha

Now they were aproaching our car and my mate was shitting himself....... he got rbt'd and for some reason pulled up okay under the limit!!!.... After a long pause, he was told 'dont scream out things at people' and they let us go.

The tension in that car was insane, we'd all knew hed had 3 beers. lol

(btw he was on his P's therfore limit is only 0.2) lol

Funny moment:
I had a 1977 escort Van, and I used to live at the top of a fairly large hill with a steep left hand curve all the way down, with an off camber right turn off into a little connecting road then a left onto a semi-major road at the bottom. The two 90 degree off camber turn offs were close enough to connect in a drift from one to the other, like ari vatanen :D... well I was in an escort..
Anyway, I chucked it through their pretty much every morning because it was always greasy, and with the steep off camber nature of it, even 60hp escorts can drift, with a little compression braking.... So one morning I try it with bugger all fuel in the unbaffled, tiny fuel tank, what happens? all the fuel sloshed away from the pickup, put the foot down to exit corner 1 and it just locked up, instead of lighting up as usual...so I am now locked up sliding backwards, towards a semi major road, so I chcuked it in reverse, it fired, I reversed back to where it connected to the other road, jumped on the brakes and swung the wheel round the other way, spun round into the right direction of travel and booted it out of there....
That was scary, just as well it was 6am in Hobart with no traffic.

Bad: In my skyline, first time I'd driven the thing in the rain, plus I was following my friend around his (tight) local streets to his house (I'd never been there before), straight off the boat to tassie with all my shit to move into a house jammed in to the car....
I followed him round one left corner and the back end let go, I held on for a bit but it came around, so I jumped on the brakes HARD, locked everything up, and finished up just kissing the left curb side on with both right hand wheels, slightly grazing two rims, no damage done!
He was like "oh yeah, I used to have trouble there in my skyline as well, greasy corner isn't it!" Grrr...

Cheers,
floody

Funniest i find is when you see all the l33t drifters come out in the rain and once they get it sideways think the best way to stop it is hit the brakes only to find they spin out.

Best moment is in a mates ke25 corolla freshly painted blue with 16in mags. Goes to leave harrys diner and starts the car up with three quarter choke so the car is idling like a rotor and the guy next to us goes "woah whats that got in it" and my mate just grins and drives off. Stock as a rock 3k inside too.

oopps

BEST: when i first tried compression lock drift in my 7 beautiful 90 degree corner, canme in spot on, locked it, then booted it, full lock countersteer balance with throttle and bring it back nice and gently, absolutely no tank slap, couldn't beleive how smooth it was, stll have trouble replicating that, first time skiilz haha.

WORST: overtaken by a red commodore VP with kit and bogan nugget at the whell, over double whites with oncoming traffic. i think faren idiot and big mt horn at the dood, who prompty hit the breaks and pulls over in front of us (me and my mate). he gets out of his car and starts walking toward us like he's gunna own us both into the pavement. I just freeze thinkin oh shite were gunna get owned, then my mate says chuck it in reverse man, os i think okay, sounds like a good idea, i give the dude the finger, and back up, fast, then still panicking i try to swing the car around so we can disappear in the other direction. Problem was i didn't realise how bloody quickly i was reversing (still panicking) and swung straight into someones front yard and slammed a tree. swung back out onto the road and burned off so we could get away and scope out what i did to my parent's car. $1600 damage layer the cops say they can't do shit coz too many of them are busy holding speed cameras. bs. at least they couldn't book me coz as far as the law is concerned it's not my fault coz i was threatened. it's BS how people can get away with causin shit like that.

dang triple post

Had a funny one this arvo. We were slowing down for the lights on South Road, and a cyclist was trying to cross. We unintentionally braked reasonably hard, and the cyclist almost ran into us (his fault.) I was the only one who saw him do it, I turned around and gave him thumbs up sarcastically, and he almost falls off his bike cursing and making hand signals at me. :rotflol: He looked a bit pissed, about 40 yo unshaven derro.

most memorable... a week or 2 after getting my p's, took my new vk wagon to a party. Bloke from school wanted a ride. Took him around the block. Corner before the party I planted it, got totally out of control, fishtailing madly up the narrow street, parked cars on either side. Pointed the car at the party's driveway, locked the wheels, went half up the gutter, ended up about 2 inches from the blokes car who I was driving around, and a tree... with the whole party just staring out at us...
