    Riding doesn't count ! Unless it was whilst driving.

    My friend buttoned up his shirt whilst driving another colleague responded to emails whilst driving holding a laptop on her lap on the M1!

    One that tops them all, I saw a car reversing back on the motorway, they must've missed their exit.

    I listened to the Evita soundtrack and nearly fell asleep behind the wheel.

    I know you're being sarcastic, but you need both hands to do up buttons! This was whilst driving (not in stop-start traffic).

    And, Bishop, would it destroy the car, if I accidentally put the wrong fuel in?

    Depends on whether its manual or automatic.

    Many years ago a friend had one of the old boxy Carinas. On a weekend excursion to Sligo, a front flexible brake pipe burst.
    We limped on to a breakers yard, but they refused to sell us a s/h flexible pipe.

    Using tools he had rattling around in the boot ( mainly a pair of visegrips) he removed the pipe, pushed a roofing nail into the steel pipe end, and replaced the flexible pipe.
    Bled it to get a pedal and remarkably enough it sealed perfectly.

    Drove around the rest of the weekend, and home again to Longford without any problems ( and 3 wheel braking).
