right looks like a fair competition, to start things off, and this will be one of many.

Ok this happened the other day. There was this wanka ia white ute, and you know how the tras have the covers and they are flat. Well there was this going charging along the high way and he had a christmas tree sitting on the back with nothing holding it down. all of a sudden the tree went fling off the back and laned on teh road where about 5 cars slammed on thier brakes to aviod death. now this was funny to start with. but then he parked is car in the middle of 2 lanes and got out and picked up the tree. he then put is back ontop of the tray and left it as he pulled of the high way. Any way as he went around the corner it fell off again and what did he do? he put it straight back on top!

some people do not learn. this fella had to be retarded!

i will have more when i think of them,

They are not very funny, but I like the keyring

My uncle was driving near the Buckingham palace...he was in a really bad mood that day. He came to a dead end, there were cones set on the road and a traffic warden ordered my uncle to go back. It took him about 5 minutes to reverse the car (u can imagine how angry he was by then), because the place was swarming with people. then a black limo came by and the warden picked up the cones and moved them aside, so that it could pass. My uncle got out of the car and started screaming his head off at the warden in front of all the people. He asked him why the hell did he let the Limo pass. The mans answer was simple..."because that's Prince Charles.

O yeah...and another story I heard. A very old woman crashed into a McLaren F1 on the motorway (or the pther way round). When the driver of the supercar got out to help her, she started to laugh. Reason: It was Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson).

I was waiting with my dad at the carpark. As my gran was getting into the car (one leg in the car, one still on the road), he put his foot down and my gran skided on one leg for about 15 meters before my dad realised what had happened.
By the way she is 75 years old.

I remember a story told by Bob Wallace, who was test driver at Lamborghini during the sixties and seventies.

When a French journalist came to Lamborghini to test the Miura, Lamborghini had an extra powerful Miura ready. It was common for car manufacturers to set the cars up slightly different to achieve the best possible results since the journalists tested the top speed themselves. Of course they wouldn't tell the journalists about the modifications so it would look like the cars were standard. Journalists were either aware or suspicious of that. So, to make it all look fair, the journalists and photographers were taken to the end of the production line and told they could one out to take for a drive. But, they made sure there was always one with a very nice colour that would do extremely well in pictures. That car would always have some modifications. Most times journalists and photographers fell for it and took the car Lamborghini wanted them to take. The same thing happened with the French journalist. The engine of the Miura he chose had an additional 30 hp. It had just been fitted and there hadn't been time to test it. The Frenchman went out onto the autostrada and did a top speed run. Despite a reasonable headwind he took it up to almost 300 km/h. "At which speed the nose of the Miura gets a bit light" as Wallace remarked with understatement. Blasting underneath an overpass cut the wind for a brief moment before returning with full force, causing the nose to lift off. "All he could see through the windscreen was sky. I don't know how he got it back on the ground, but his face was completely white when he returned. He never spoke to me again."

I just thought about this story when I read this thread. I'm not a Porsche fan, so if you democratically decide it is the best story, please send the keychain to a real Porsche fan.

While driving home from Delaware one time, I was doing about 80 mph on I-95 when I pulled up next to a BMW. A man and a woman were in the car, they appeared to be married. This guy's wife was absolutely beautiful and while I was staring at this guy’s wife, I noticed that my car was drifting closer to his. When I was about 2 feet away from this woman she finally looked over at me and screamed. At that time I woke up from my little spell and jerked the wheel to get my car back in the right lane. The guy was.... upset.
