Called at my 24 hour Tesco late last night.

Two lads left their car parked near the door and locked it with a pal inside.

He was sitting absolutely rigid in the car because, every time he moved, he set off the alarm. Didn't have the wit to open it and get out.

He was still there when I came out. Oh, how we laughed.

There must be more parked car mirth I've not thought of, so fire away, I'm a bit pissed orf at the moment and could do with a chuckle or three...smile

my mum is death, she has a softtop

often when younger we'd put something odd on the stereo and leave it on full volume

she'd be sat outside the post office with the prodigy booming away

Save up a fart, let it go just as I get out and deadlock the car (couldn't open the doors from inside a Mk1 Focus when deadlocked).

Probably deadlocked so the interior door handles wouldn't work.

Many moons ago my mate was in a club with his then GF and we spotted his car in the car park. We had a spare key and managed to remove all 4 wheels and leave it on bricks with the wheels safely tucked in the boot. He came out at 2.30am to take the GF home to find it like that

We had his ignition leads away a few times as well. To the point that he used to take them off and take them in pubs and clubs with him (great anti theft device though)

I'd forgotten about this stuff. We used to get into the engine bay and remove the rotor arm.

Then there were imported things called car bombs. Looked like a firework with two wires, to be wrapped round spark plugs, then the ignition leads reattached. On firing up the engine, huge clouds of smoke were accompanied by a very loud and long screech. They produced more smoke than a battleship laying down a smoke screen.

One lassie we knew thought her Vitesse starter motor was acting up.

Happy days....hehe

Many moons ago when a schoolboy some mates of mine thought they would play a prank on their favourite* teacher. Jacking up the rear of the car they lowered each side carefully onto blocks of wood such that the rear wheels were just off the ground. They then concealed themselves to watch the ensuing spinning of wheels in mid air with no motion as teacher attempted to drive home . . . . . . . in his front wheel drive car . . . . . .




* Favourite may be a bit of an overstatement.

Mate of my Dads never dipped the clutch or checked the position of the gear level when he started a car. Admittedly, he shouldn't have to when its his own car...but that didn't stop us popping it into first as we all got out the car, as a nice surprise for the next time he started it up.

Many moons ago, a fellow fitter came into some money and decided he would treat himself to a new car. Brand new discovery. Came to work every day and made sure he parked in exactly the same spot, an end of row which was slightly larger than others, so as to avoid any dings.
Every day, one of us would go out and put a drop of oil under his car. Then we would tell him and take him out and show him.
Fuming, car goes back to dealer, get this fixed or else. Went on for months, him complaining, garage not finding any faults, which isn't surprising.
After about 6 months, he was so cheesed off he traded it in.......

About 15 years ago when I was working for Cellnet in Leeds we'd move co-workers cars around the car park.

Mate of ours used to have a facelifted mk2 Polo, which was so light that it only took 3 of us to lift the rear wheels off the ground. Everytime he left it, we'd lift it up and spin it around so that it was facing the other way when he came back.

Mate at work just bought new at the time a gsxr600srad. his pride and joy

so once i turned the number late round as he never used to see it from the way he approached the bike, wrote something like gay biker on board on the plate. last a few days before he realised.

he quite often would leave the key on his desk so it would get moved a lot around the car park, just a space away or turned round to face the other way, little things that make you question yourself.

We wrapped one of our project managers car up in Christmas wrapping paper. Did it in the morning and it rained all afternoon. He thought it was the funniest thing he'd seen when he saw it early afternoon and left it all day! When he left we padlocked all his alloys making sure they interfered with brakes/suspension so he couldn't move it and handed him a bag of random keys. Needed half an hour to do it but the daft bugger left it until end of day when it had started chucking it down (theme here!), he came in absolutely soaked to the skin in his work gear.

At a previous job others got a managers car keys and moved it to the front of the building in a no parking zone and emptied multiple shredders and hole punches into the car. She laughed but I strongly suspect she was absolutely raging at that smile

Not sure if true or urban myth.
Something about one of our teachers had a bubble car. A few ne'er do wells from the wrong end of town thought it a wizard jape to lift up the rear (driven wheel) and pushed it up against a wall. He was supposedly stuck there for some time before rescued by a colleague.

If you didn't know, the bubble car had 1. no reverse gear and 2. the door opened forwards.

Many moons ago, sixth form. One of my mates used to drive his mum's Fiat 126 to school occasionally. We worked out that its length was almost the same as the space between two convenient large trees just by the car park. Several of us working together could lift a 126.
