There is some evidence, albeit inconclusive, that that story may relate to a friend, in which case it wouldn't be allowed.

Right then my friend:

Drove on the public highway whilst on a provisional license at three in the morning.

Bought an E30 M3 (at 19), which had a blown head gasket, got a courtesy car, which he promptly crashed into a kerb going round a roundabout too fast.

In the M3 got done for speeding at 83 leptons which was lucky as he was going 125 leptons following another friend in a Fiesta RS Turbo about an hour earlier.

Generally did lots of stupid things in the M3, he was a typical boy racer, burnouts, doughnuts, spinning in front of a whole train of cars in the middle of Cheltenham. My friend also crashed into the kerb trying to drift round a roundabout. Ended up in a field when under direction of another friend who knew where he was going.

Generally my friend screwed up an okay example of an M3, he often asked if Diffs where meant to make that noise and then sold it for £1500 to purchase a brand new Corsa SXIiiiiii.

That's enough about my friend for now I think.

My "friend" filled up with V-Power.... the diesel kind. It cost him over 200 smackers to get some bloke to hoick the stuff out of his old Italian petrol car.

Ah yes , more like a so called best friend.....

Tried to jump out of his bedroom window when he was high on drugs.
Stole a 1500 mountain bike and proceed to get me caught up in the ste.
Tried to blow his council house up with him lying on the bed......in turn this landed him in a mental hospital.....right next to my brother actually!
Used to steal numerous cars after wanting to take his girlfriend home.
Jumped , attacked at least half a dozen guys with a cosh.
Numerous fights , i was allways watching for him.
Assaulted coppers many a time .
Landed himself in Bar l (barlinnie) many a time.....my dad was none too impressed with receiving letters from her majesties property.
Stole hi fi equipment from a church!
Stole a bag of drugs from a dillusional neighbour and proceeded to swallow the entire contents landing him in bed for 5 days, he couldnt move nor utter an awful lot.
I think that's some of the fun we used to end up getting into , oh i was chased up a hill by the fuzz thanks to him .
Eventually he buggered off after roping me into buying him a mountain bike..........i will never forgive him and will happily punch his broken face all day long.

When we were at school my friend had a st brown Allegro, he set fire to it, his parents garage and himself trying to repair a hole in the fuel tank with wax (from a lit candle), he also ended up in a ditch with it (twice) and once was on the A90 at "max" speed when the bonnet flew up and totally blocked his view.

How we look back and laugh about "Christine".

I have a friend who did a beautiful reverse-park into a space ... without noticing that there was already a car in the space he had chosen. This was all done while several of the friend's colleagues were watching. Fortunately the other car appeared to have been abandoned and despite doing the decent thing and leaving a note, nothing was ever heard from the owner although he may have regularly heard from the aforementioned colleagues. Allegedly.

Oh and he raced a police car for approx. 7 miles across country lanes in the early hours one morning in a 205 XS - great little car! Police man explained after eventually putting his lights on, that he was too busy trying to keep up and only found the chance to hit the blues and twos on a straight stretch. He assumed my friend was a joyrider and slammed him against the side of the car arms over the roof, when he found out it was his car he reeled off a very long list of offences and said he was going to lose his licence. Friend then made up what I now realise was one of the best bits of convincing bullst ever and got him down to 3 points!
Is your friend also an expert in martial arts but was made to sign a document promising never to use his 'lethal hands' on civilians? And does he ever get let off drink driving by the Police because he did a test to prove how well he can hold his booze? And something something his mum had left a steaming mug of tea beside the bed something something?

Recently a "friend" of mine borrowed my dad's car to move a large cabinet and got a bit confused with the automatic gearbox. Essentially, my "friend" noticed a warning message on the display in my dad's car saying that a reverse light had popped. "Friend" started the lovingly maintainted, automatic transmission car, popped it into reverse and hopped out to inspect the reverse lights. Or so he thought, as I he watched as the car gracefully overcame its handbrake and reversed into the wall at enough speed to deform the bumper and pop the offending reverse light out.

On his stag night many many years ago my 'friend', whilst very drunk & on the way to a curry house in a little town called Solihull, decided that it would a good idea to climb up the fire escape ladder on the outside of the local cinema.

My 'friend' did this because it seemed a good idea at the time. When he got onto the roof of the aforementioned cinema my 'friend' looked at how far down the ground was & said, simply, oh fk.

The only way down for my 'friend' was courtesy of a Simon Snorkel kindly, & very bad temperedly, by the local fire brigade after which my 'friend' was spoken to quite severely by a very large & very annoyed sargeant of the Police type.

He didnt ever do anything that stupid again. Possibly.......

- bought an old Mini and left it in hotel carpark, unregistered with keys hidden in wheel arch for those urgent times

- let it be known to anyone he had ever had a pint with that said car was there at their disposal and, as a consequence, it wasn't there the actual night said friend wanted it for urgent purposes! He told me that it wasn't ideal. I am led to believe that a chat with a Rozzer closely followed said disappointment.

-friend had congress with a particularly unsuitable girlin pub carpark in middle of day, after finishing noticed several people outside of car with red complexions and carried on for round 2 with the result of a chat with a Gendarme shortly afterwards. He was very apologetic.

-friend got smacked by a guy in a Club for chatting up the guys Doris. Then proceeded to chase wronged boyfriend round the dancefloor to exact retribution. Luckily too drunk to catch him before friendly DoorHelpers intervened. After a stitch or 6 at local A&E the silly friend was asked if he wanted to press charges, instead opted for compensation for shirt and an apology. The wronged boyfriend then offered my friend a lift home to show no hard feelings, my friend accepted with a clenched fist, and was pleased to see his assailant was the owner of a very nice BMW 3series Coupe. Assailant invited in to friends bar for a few sherbets that evening and now firm mates

..too many other scrapes and memories to put into words here..he is not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy

Talking of furniture related "friend" action, my "friend", whilst at university, decided to win the approval of a local hot female person by placing the old, large, solid and heavy wardrobe that she had just bought in her bedroom for her while she was away. He recruited some cohorts, and they planned their expert furniture movage endeavours in the pub for some hours. The bedroom of la hotness was at the top of a narrow staircase with two turns in it. Suffice it to say that on her return the next day, the wardrobe was in a suitable state for small domestic starting fires with. Words were spoken. some of them surprisingly harsh and industrial to hear coming from such a delicate young lady person.. This ended my "friend's" promising career in the removals trade, together with certain other ambitions that he had been developing.

My friend borrowed his mothers brand new Chrysler Alpine , persuaded his girlfriend to remove both his and her underwear and sit astride him while he was in the drivers seat .

His girlfriend persuaded him that reclining the drivers seat may make it more comfortable for both.

When pulling the lever to recline the said seat horizontal the lever decided to snap off.

An immediate end to any rumpy pumpy , followed by a drive home with no back support whilst hanging on to the steering wheel.

Fast forward eight hours to a rather embarrassing explanation to my friends parents over cornflakes at breakfast.

My friends parents were reluctant to let him borrow the car for a few months after.

Never tried the same on my Honda CB 250
