BMW drivers just give each other the middle finger or the "w@anker! gesture!

That's strange, they seem to give that to anyone as far as I can tell... :pac:

Yeah my brain did that once in the first week of owning the GTI. I buried my face in the steering wheel. Amazed I don't have the VW logo embossed on my forehead.

I don't often drive autos so when I do it happens to me when coming to a stop the first time or slowing for a roundabout. Never happens on gear changes though.

I did something twice yesterday that I have never once done before. I went to move off forgetting that the handbrake was still applied. Can't understand how I've never done it before and then for it to happen twice in 1 day.

Did that twice in my driving test (well didn't put it down fully). Still passed though!

Here's another silly video from that mad friend of mine, look a little like scummers in this one

CianRyan

What's the story with the egg? Haha

YbFocus

Thats the one thing you got from that

Old trick when you have a leaky rad. Egg coagulates and blocks hole. Rarely works and would never do it to a proper car :eek:

CianRyan

I enjoyed the rest, that just confused me.

I intend on getting a BM track slut at some stage, I'll remember that for when I plant it in the tyres.

I managed to stall the car not once, but three times yesterday. I don't think I was thinking right. The first time was actually in reaction to a taxi in front that was failing miserably at a hill start and rolling back towards me. I was trying to get the car out of there quickly and failed. The driver in front pulled off right before he got too close.

Ha ha it never works man. Seriously I never understand where he gets his ideas!
It does be some fun though! The Jim Kana one from a few months ago is verging on 12,000 views!

Porridge oats works better. Sealed up a leaky rad on a Kubota temporally well enough

You were supposed to organise a meet!

Does anyone know if alloys have names?

For example, if i wanted to look for an alloy that was something similar to these:

Volkswagen Golf:




or these

Skoda Octavia VRS (According to eBay, anyway. Googling doesn't bring them up)






Would they have a general name or style (to make them easier to google or such)?

Kaiser D

They do have names.

The name of those GTI wheels is on the tip of my tongue. Monzas, I Think.
