When I had my old Jag XJ40 I was taking my now wife on only our 2nd date and drifted into a pub car park (empty pub car park, mind) pefectly through the narrow entrance stopping *inch perfectly* into a space. Well proud of myself I was (though it was probably more luck than judgement)... cue the biggest b
king I reckon anyone has ever had, ever, on a 2nd date.
She admitted she was secretly impressed some months later, after she eventually calmed down.

I'm struggling to think of "proud" saves, because most of them have been caused by me getting it out of shape in the first place. I'd only really be "proud" if I got out of shape and it was a mechanical failure or someone else' fault.
Granted, human error isnt as impressive as mechanical error.proudest moment rather than proudest save then
If Soovy is claiming Higgen's save as his own, then my proudest moment is when Mansell and I swapped seats at Imola in 91.

Hmm
Twice I've slithered cars through gaps that simply didn't exist, thanks to eejits oncoming on my side of the road. One was a bloody big tractor, on my side of the road around a blind bend.
The second was a spacktard intent on killing himself and anyone around him by overtaking on a blind crest. I got my driver's door mirror knocked off, which in turn smashed the window. No willy waving here, but my reactions saved both our lives that day.
Did the other driver stop? Nope.

from the outside, it looked like an epic bit of driving, from the inside it was pure luck i wasn't marmalised.
i was in my indestructible late teen stage, in my 1 litre metro, bombing around with very little clue, i went for an overtake after a blind crest and realised that i had just gone round the last in a line of traffic queuing for some temporary lights, so i was doing in excess of 70mph with nowhere to pull back in (stationary traffic nose to tail) and traffic coming the other way. Not good............
dropped anchors, locked up, not slowing down, about to hit oncoming cars, why is this fking car not slowing down, oh st i'm really about to hit oncoming cars, see small gap in front of transit (about 15 feet)turn wheel, nothing happens due to skidding wheels, let go of brakes, mighty metro finds grip and whips in front of transit just missing oncoming cars which leads me into deserted car park, handbrake turn, drove out in front of gobsmacked transit driver and carried on like nothing had happened.
There but for the grace of god go I.......

Was at work, raining rather heavy and a colleague's car was at the other end of the carpark. i drove her to her car and as it was empty, on approach i pulled the handbrake, spun round the rear and parked somehow in the bay next to it.
i grinned for ages and haven't dared anything similar since as i really bricked it that one time.
childish, but i felt great after
