You've forgotten the Drive-By Hollering: Think of any phrase - funny one-liner, quote from Star Wars etc, insult (for maxers/numpties), and as you pass said stationary group, everyone yells it out of the windows. You need to ensure that you get a clear run up and away, but with a group of mates, it's damn fun. The 'target' only hears a section of the phrase and therefore wonders whatever the hell you were on about, but it's not like you're going to see them again.

Very good Ted, hours of fun assured !!!!

One of my favourites while bombing along on the motorway is "Mexican Windscreen Washing".

Wait til you get to a slow but steady speed on a dual carriageway or motorway, 50-70mph is ideal. When vehicles are closely bunched up behind you, use your windscreen washers for 10 secs or so, the car behind gets sprayed, they wash their windscreen, the car behind gets sprayed, etc etc. How many cars behind can you get to wash their screens, just like a mexican wave except with...err.. windscreen wipers.

far too boring: turn your washer jets the other way round (maximum effect for people with about 50 headlamp washers and rear washers) and squirt everyone in a playful fashion, except if you've got a range rover, is it me or are those things pressure washers?

You can squirt the car behind (brilliant for tailgaters, especially if you add some dye to the washer bottle) and emmense fun for convertable drivers

Or the ever-funny -
'Need a hand mate, then join the AA!'
Don't know why, but we always find it hilarious.

Don't know how I managed this without getting twatted, but....

Get any car with a sunroof. Drive through town with your mate standing on the passenger seat, with head and upper body out of the sunroof, carrying a Super Soaker. See how many shoppers / cyclists / dogs / etc. you can squirt...

Watch out for traffic lights, though. Still don't know how I didn't get beaten up

"Chris Cross" and "It's me Gran" will be coming to a car near me very soon, excellent!

Another point scoring game fellow PHers might want to try is "Happy Passenger".

Each passenger takes separate turns to play. When they see a car approaching either to overtake or to be overtaken, they declare their choice i.e. "Purple Micra, ahead". Their job is to elicit a response from the driver of that vehicle using only a grin of their choice. Points are awarded as follows:

1 point for a friendly smile back.
2 points for a rude gesture.
3 points for a sympathetic wave.

Motorway Tag...

1)Find your target vehicle in the inside lane and overtake.

2)Then slow down below their speed, and let them pass you.

3)Overtake them again.

4)Let them pass.

5)Repeat until you and your passengers can no longer hold a straight face. Or till they hare off over the speed limit.

You get one point for every time they pass you.

My record is 17 points

"Death Wish"
This one's usually played when going skiing, but with the right equipment and the right political climate it can be hilarious entertainment for the whole family all year round. Simply get the whole family to don their balaclavas and then drive around the city of your choice (it's important to adopt a fixed stare forwards at all times).

Fun for all the family as you sit outside the embassy of your choice and watch the reaction. See the traffic open up before you as you and your clan gaze straight ahead fully focused on your next task - getting the ice creams in. Watch how quickly people use the crossings when you've got your bonny balaclavas on. Chuckle heartily as an Armed Response Vehicle comes to check you out and the jackpot's yours when you can sue the police for harrassment.


Oh yes.

Will most definitely be doing that one this summer!

Very funny! Me and my wife play a game we call "Shag It".

When overtaking you have to state whether or not you would shag the driver of the car infront before seeing the driver. Most hilarity to be had when you get a big hairy trucker driving a nice red fiesta with chick stickers on!

"Deat Wish"?
Jesus what if an unmarked ARV (Armed response vehicle) spots you?
But then...... you can change the game into "Dodge the Bullet"
Or even get a sticker and those bullet hole trsansfers and claim- "I play Death Wish"
But, still a good game if you are careful when you play it.

Played "yellow car" yesterday. For 2+ players.

When anyone in the car sees a yellow car they say/shout "yellow car".
Last person to say it get's a whack on the arm / leg (careful if it's the driver...).

Hours of fun.
