I just fail to understand this. How can someone's judgement of anything be that bad?

And once, when I was driving my Beetle I ran out of fuel on a roundabout and promptly got out and locked my keys in the car with the headlights on...I thought that was the end of the world! lol

Kat that must have been an awful day, but what a spectacular failure! I suppose you just had to sit there and wait for recovery, meanwhile holding up an entire road?

You'd NEVER drive into a post or anything, would you? :lol:
Oh, how is the 928?

I can't really remember what happened now, I don't think I even owned a mobile phone back then - in fact I'm pretty sure I didn't. I suspect I probably passed out on the pavement next to my car and waited for my fairy godmother to set it right! lol

my mrs crashed into a stationary bus, swears blind it was the buses fault, even tho it was empty with no driver! and she crashed into my old bmw swapping the cars round out front, that was my fault as i was watching from the bedroom window, which put her off.
i wouldnt be suprised if the lady in the clip was taught by my mrs
