    BFWTK - breaking other people's stuffs

    So last night I was driving millsy's ute, which I had borrowed to move house. It went bang in a fairly major way, and now I feel terrible.

    So to help me feel better, what stuff that doesn't belong to you have you destroyed? The bigger the better.
    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    sure, people count (but Baxter has to take his shoes and socks off)

    There's also a big difference between unfortunate timing and something failing while you're using it, than breaking something through wilful disregard or negligence.

    You're certainly not prone to the latter.

    Remember ......... For a one off cash payment I won't send Millsy the photos of you in the burnout competition.
    It's better to be thought stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt

    Pure speed in sixth gear on a 5,000 foot straightaway is one thing, but pure speed in third gear on a gravel-strewn, downhill, ess turn is quite another.

    hmm.. not long off P-Plates I was down the uncles farm with family and decided to "go for a drive to clear my head"
    ended up on a gravel road (williams way) and was driving like Colin Mcrae.,..
    I was impressing myself for the first half hour, then came over the top of a huge hill at speed, looked down at a 90deg bend at the bottom and knew I was F#$@ed....
    Was mums car, overcorrected into the ditch, had to climb out the passanger window as car was on its side.
    apprx $4k damage..

    2nd incident - years ago used to work for Barbagallo... (yes I have stories - another time)... jumped in a freelander, looked in rearview mirror, all clear, reversed out and strait into the passenger side of a brand new (not plated yet) MG that some spanker had parked directly behind me... (too low to see).. feel like an idiot much when the whole mechanic workshop comes out to have a look at what that crunching sound was???

    Edit: 1st one was young idiot syndrome, second one prob was too (inattention) neither was just unfortunate timing which is what your case sounds like

    Picked up my mums car for her after it had its first service. Driven down to the DPI in welshpool to pay off my rego on the bike and as i was pulling out onto welshpool road again a truck took the front end off the car.
    Truck didnt indicate to change lanes and i pulling out into the gap as someone turned into the street and just as i was straighting up in the lane the truck came over the front right corner of the car.

    The first words out of his mouth, oh man i didnt see you there. I was in a Hyundai Tuscan.

    Iv also crash my dads skyline into a work ute. ( My fault ) On the day he got back from holiday in Italy. I was coming down the driving way in the tow truck as he was being dropped off by family friends. I just leaned out the window waved and asked how his trip was. While not so calmly asking the tow truck driver if the doors where able to be locked in case of emergancies.
    A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

    My wife was a bit apprehensive about reversing her brand new car into the garage. Pffft give me the keys. $500 worth of electric mirror later. Haven't driven it since.

    Lucky enough to be on a 550 ton excavator when one of the rods in the right motor decided it was time to make a break for it. Left a hole big enough to stick your head in both sides of the block!!!

    Took some knob jockey in the workshop 4 hours to decide they couldn't patch it up and needed to order a new motor!!!

    Also parked a D11R dozer on its side. Only killed the catwalk and ladder motor though. Not sure if thats big enough to count!!!

    Backed my ute into my bike.
    The handlebars of my bike then proceeded to punch a dent in a customers custom painted FJ1100 tank.
    That piece of inattention cost me quite a few quid to rectify.
    Fortunately, the young lady that owned the FJ was understanding and really happy with the repair and free service/tune.
    TBH Barfy, yours sounds more like bad luck/timing than anything else.

    Do hire cars count?

    I'm guessing not, but I probably nearly wrote off a VW Golf in Norway. Had been watching too much rally on TV. It was a gravel road and I slide off and hit a boulder about the size of a 'busa. Smashed in the rear door, sills, tyre, rim, probably could never get the tracking back right. My biggest concern was it took me a while to find the tripped fuel cut off switch - didn't want to miss my flight. Did a key drop at the airport and got out of there quick. (I had all insurances.)

    Oh, I crashed a Commodore less than 4 hours after buying it. Many years ago.

    I was stupid The cops that arrived looked at me, looked at the car, and while putting his infringement book away said "You've been punished enough..."

    Remember when cops had judgment and reasoning ability?

    I got very lucky a few years ago by not being the one to break something. I drove my brothers XF ute from Sydney to Perth, it got warm on the trip but no overheating. I dropped it off at the farm and picked up my car. Two days later my uncle borrowed the XF to drive it to Perth, made it 80kms and blew the head gasket. We told him it wasn't his fault, but he still paid half of the repair cost.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon! Press the brake foot as you roll around the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.

    another dozer.

    Got a great one from my dad about one going over in borneo. The locals thought it was possessed by a ghost and wouldn't work till it was blessed and purified.
    Gutsy question. You're a shark. Sharks are winners, and they don't look back because they have no necks. Necks are for sheep.
