And most of us have our own stories of humour / bad luck / memories / stories from motoring mags........
Would you guys share some remeniscencies, or maybe stories from the Press........? USA: Paul P (Idaho) drove his pick-up through the barber's shop window. Unhappy with his haircut, they would not give him a refund, so....... JAPAN: A driving school has moved their offices from the centre of Kobe, 'cause learners sat out their entire hour in the gridlock outside! ME: In my first ever car, I took a new girl for a date/drive. After stopping in a farmer's gate to his field.....(  ).....I reversed to drive home. Unfortunately I reversed my exhaust pipe into the opposite earth bank - stopping the engine. Not able to re-start the engine, not able to push.....I had to call the farmer....... The embarrasement is still apparent when I meet him. But I've never met her again........OK guys - I'm sure you can do better than me......... Andrew

This is not humor or bad luck, just weird. I got into an accident with this one lady. It was her fault because she had to wait before turning left but she didn't and I ended up hitting her but she got right in front of me. So we pull over, for the first 10 minutes she was going on how it is my fault. I was really getting tired of her. Told her at least 20 times to call the cops, “lets go call the cops”. Her answer, it is your fault, why can't you see it is your fault. After about 10 minutes of arguing with her, I started walking away to call the cops. So she then started babbling about me fixing her car because she got no money and she has kids and her husband is too lazy. and because I'm involved, I should fix the car, after another 5 minutes she just drove away. Personally, I was just happy to get away from her. My car sustained no damage, so I didn't care that she left.

Upon arriving in the USA, four of us Hungarians pooled our money and purchased a car. It was a 1948 Buick with a Dynaglide(?) automatic transmission. The car was black and long.
On the first weekend that we had the car we drove to the Pocono Mountains in PA. Let me tell you, those are no mountains. They barely qualify as hills. About 30 miles from the nearest town, our transmission stopped Dynagliding. It would only take the REVERSE gear. Have you ever driven 30 miles backwards? That is what we did. Talking about a sore neck. When we got to a gas station we asked the mechanic to fix the transmission. Very quickly he informed us that to fix the car transmission would cost more than what the car was worth. He became the proud owner of that Buick for One Hundred Dollars. That money was used to get us back home on Greyhound. Never owned another Buick. Bill

Persistance pays - if you're the more persistant.....hahaha.
ITALY: The police were called after a woman was seen being put into the boot of a car and the guy drove off at speed. However - when caught - they said they were lovers and were trying to avoid her husband. AUSTRALIA: A Holden car was put up for sale on the condition that the new owner pays the $800 in speeding and parking fines......... ENGLAND: Police apologised to a couple who had a marital bust-up when a speeding fine dropped through the letter box due to a speed camera. He said it coundn't be him - she was as convinced it wasn't her. The police found they had mis-read the photo and it was not their car anyway........ Andrew

AWWW - BILL........
That was just 'bad luck'.... it wouldn't happen again !!!! Nevertheless I guess the previous owner knew a thing or two.
My son wrote off his car 3 months ago and (with the insurance money and some hard earned cash) purchased his heart's desire: his first BMW. High mileage? no problem he was told by the private owner. Being a good lad, last month he dutifully put it through it's yearly MOT test - then found he had $900 to pay for worn-out suspension and steering parts.......took the shine off it a bit !! Andrew

About 1967, when I came out from a dancing at night to the
parking place I found a lady in front of my car admiring it. When I started to open the door she was all surprised, as her dancing partner, in trying to impress her, described my car to her to be his. That probably finished the romance. It was a metallic-blue 1961 220 S Mercedes. Udo
