Going way too fast, getting a snake on, hitting the brakes instead of planting his foot to pull out of it and then slow the f*ck down..... That how 90% of people in that position get there

That how 90% of people in that position get thereThat not far off word for word of what i said to the other lads at work! Dash cams don't half come in handy. A while ago i came across this on the M42 and the fire engine was only just coming onto the sliproad on the oppsite side 2 miles after i passed it [emoji54] The driver was alright was standing casually about 300 feet from it on his phone. ![[Image: 0eb1ff68cec63e79ea6ad1a156b6ec9d.jpg]](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160602/0eb1ff68cec63e79ea6ad1a156b6ec9d.jpg) ![[Image: e21cdb521db82533436c7fe43701014a.jpg]](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160602/e21cdb521db82533436c7fe43701014a.jpg) Also not car related but this made me laugh on tablet when i tried to use google earth. ![[Image: 367cd0135757c4916a56e229048e0569.jpg]](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160602/367cd0135757c4916a56e229048e0569.jpg)

My fail the other day.
Dropped the XUD 9 into the 205, chucked 5L of nice new oil. Began cranking, fiddling to get it going and notices a huge pool of oil under the car. I'd not attached the turbo (on purpose, as it's being relocated) but forgot about the pressured oil line - it was going everywhere! FML

Many years ago I had a Minivan 1000cc,at the time I was based at a remote Pembrokeshire Airfield,I did an oil/filter change and as I was topping up the oil with High Tech 20/50 oil - I eventually noticed a slight gurgling noise - yup I had forgotten to refit the drain plug LOL - never did that again (yet
)The other fail with the minivan was not really my fault - I had bought it from a very trustworthy mate and had not really looked around it very carefully LOL,I did not use it much for a while as I was also riding motorbikes at the time,when winter came along and I started driving the minivan more - I realised that the handling was not quite right and it was 'tramlining' quite badly.I had a good look round the van and could not see anything obviously wrong until I eventually spotted that it had been fitted with crossply tyres - went out and got a set of radials fitted which transformed it into a normal mini

But how no one has mentioned the FB genius telling darren that his two turbos are not as good as his one gT2259 which "spools up instantly and pulls till 6k rpm all day long"
