DUMBEST MOMENT IN A TVR

[SIR MP]

Following on from coolest moment in a TVR, there had to be dumbest.
I was stuck on the M6 through Birmingham, when I noticed the sun had started to shine. Not wishing to miss out on those precious rays I decided it would be a good idea to remove the lid on my Chimaera without getting out of the car. Having released the rear hood stays from inside I was about to remove the roof panel when the traffic moved off. As I pulled away the rear section folded back and the roof panel came crashing down on my head and landed in my lap. Unable to see where I was going I pulled onto the hard shoulder hoping that I did'nt hit anything and praying that nobody was watching. When I realised I had got away with it,I was laughing so much I hardly felt Mr Bump arrive on my head. Anyone top that?

Simpo,

The plan was very obviously flawed.
The other occasion that caused some embarrassment was parking the Cerbera on a slope outside the local cinema. As I left the car to meet my son, it started to roll backwards,luckily I spotted it moving and managed to reach in and yank the handbrake.
Lesson one - Never assume that the TVR handbrake will actually work properly.

robkola,

I don't remember being piston broke on the M4. By pure coincidence it is the right motorway, right junction and the right colour cerbie, it must have been my stunt double.
Call me a cab.
