The worst fib's I heard from a pub bore were as follows...

"Sebastien Loeb the Finnish Rally driver will be racing in F1 next year because his co-driver was recently killed in a rally & he cant get another one "

This clip reminded me of an old work colleague of mine.

We were in his Cobalt Blue 106 GTi and he was ragging the tits off it around the town (bearing it mind it's pissing down with rain) on our way to get some lunch. I made a comment regarding that his car was 'fairly nippy' and he, leaning forwards in his seat hunched over his steering wheel said, "yeah, no one can touch me in this.. M3's, S4's..." I yelp, "stop!" noticing cars stopped literally yards from us, he slammed his brakes on, we went sideways, mounted the curb and hit a newly planted tree! His attitude completely changed from this chavish 'mr big' I am to a "Oh dear". Fortunately the tree hit the rear quater otherwise I'd have been in some discomfort!!!

Watching him picking up his Peco big bore exhaust out of the gutter in the rain is a memory I won't forget too soon!

Good news is that he had to go on one of those driver improvement courses! The tree didn't make it. frown

My mate onece told me he did 140 in a diesel 307
He took a lot of persuading to be convinced the speedo was inaccurate...

Lad at College many years ago claimed his Metro 1.0 city (that belonged to his Mum, didn't have headrests and was hearing aid beige) could easily do 60 mph if not 70 mph in second gear.
The 1.0 HLE with the economy gearing would very nearly hit 60 in 2nd!

Idd, I think I have the "top of the range getmecoat" one, and it will get to 125.
But it will struggle.

My speedo will indicate +130 at that speed.
