whats the biggest thing you've hit.....
« on: 12 October 2009, 18:43:01 »
biggest thing I've hit is a pigeon whilst driving a double deck bus. Was pulling into a stop and the stupid thing just stayed there. Made a very satisfying crunching noise, although the two women at the stop were cringing ;D

Spun on some ice and found the only brick wall for miles, my left knee cracked the dash (Fiat Uno)

Filtered a Pheasant through a Carton Diplomat headlight (Bones n all)

Hehe, I also had a mishap the 1st time I drove a forklift truck, thought the pedals were the same as a car (NOT)  anyway, came down a small slope, thought I was braking  (was the reverse pedal) other than it clicking nothing happened.  So I turned to the right with the intention of coasing to a halt and it started to roll over, was allready up on the left wheels.    ::)  Had to think quick, spun it round to the left doing a 180 which killed 60/70% of the speed.  But then I promply parked it into  2 huge tyres on a 17.5 ton truck. :-/

Got a way with a huge bolloking and the sack as my Dad was the Transport Manager, and to this day I dont think my gaffer actually found out.

A block of flats. ;D :-[.............was driving an LDV van with extended fibreglass roof,went to drive the van through a underpass type thing to go from the front of the flats to the car park at the back.Forgot about the high roof until there was an almighty crunching/cracking noise.The block of flats was sat on the roof of the van (actually the roof of the van was mostly on the floor in the back of the van.Had to let the air out of the front tyres so I could reverse it out.Should have seen the look on the blokes face who I hired the van from when I drove into his yard with the roofless van. :-[ ;D ;D

Managed a house too - totalled an Astra Estate.  Also managed to hit a Triumph GT6 head on in the E-type in Leicester in the 60s - bent a chrome bar on the E-type but pushed the front end of the GT6 back so that doors wouldn't open!  That one wasn't my fault though  ;)
