The Mrs pointed out, not for the first time I might add that when I walk around the house I do car noises with gear changes and turbo chatter, usually a Subaru on a rally or an F1 car usually changing down through the gears.

I also apparently like to oversteer the trolley in the supermarket!

Time to grow up?

Never!





I may also make car noise's that can be quite intricate.

Trolley oversteer is standard practice no?

Nope I'm with you also US - I particularly like to do downshifts when slowing or coming to a stop.

I also do it when the Mrs is driving which she finds annoying.

One of my favourites is a blipped downshift and leg it up the stairs.

Do you blip the throttle on the downshifts?

Oversteer until she puts a load of heavy drinks in the front and it starts understeering. I quite often repack the trolley to adjust the handling while she's distracted by clothes.

The heavy drinks do allow you to hang on the back without the danger of the front lifting too far though...

This.

I also enjoy supporting my weight on the cross handle to perform a Ken block style 360° 4 wheel drift/pirouette down a clear aisle.

Come to think of it, all I need is a Go-pro and a man on a segway. Then I'll be able to do a full gymkhana next time I do the weekly shop. driving

I always do a quick lifesaver over the shoulder before changing direction with the trolley. I'm not playing either, genuinely biker muscle memory!

You are a weirdo, and how you ever even got a Mrs in the first place is truly a mystery.

Of course. Usually a scoob with a lot of turbo noise too. Sometimes a lumpy v8 with a lot of pops and bangs on the overrun.
