Had to go to a car crash this morning , you never know what you will find . This man lives at the top of a steep court , up a steep driveway . He came out to go to work to find his late model Hilux twin cab had a flat battery . No problem , its a manual , roll strart it . Somehow he managed to get behind it and ran himself over :shock: . The car took off backwards down the hill door open no hand brake and him under the car . After smashing through two brick fences it came to a stop in someones front yard . He only has minor injuries and a very bruised ego .

Oops.... :shock:

That will be an interesting conversation with the insurance company :lol:

 

[sarah_m]

Maybe he will get an honorable mention....

 

[thals]

LOL he's quite fortunate to get away with the minor injuries after running himself over I'd say, his ego however wouldn't have come off quite so unscathed

 

[syeph8]

how do you manage that? thats a skill right there!

 

[AM Pythons]

why not clutch in reverse?.. would have saved the trouble..lol.. funny stuff..lucky..

 

[jacorin]

tony......most ppl these days dont know what clutching is...either forwards or backwards..... ask almost any person(young mainly-tho also into 30's) how to clutch start...and they look at u weird and go..duuuuuuuhhhhh wot????

 

[moosenoose]

:lol: That legend needs to buy himself a lotto ticket!

 

[AM Pythons]

true jac.. hotwire-yes, clutch it-whats that?... lol..

 

[ShnakeyGirl]

Hey! I'm young and I know what a clutch start is! yay me!

My fiancee is also one of those 'special' few that has managed to get run over doing something similar. Got pinned against a fence post trying to roll start his car. Broken rib and a very nasty bruise to show for it. Yet, once we got the car started he still insisted on going looking for Lacies, until the shock wore off that is.

[driftoz]

[Fuscus]

After losing a van to a steep driveway, I really feel for him. Fortunately for me, no one was in the area

In a big shopping centre, (Broadway, for those who live in Sydney City) a man managed to run his car over the concrete barrier in the highest level of the car park (About 20 normal stories high). He died... Sorry to be a downer, but seriously. How do you *reverse* your car over a concrete barrier??

The way it usualy goes is , puts foot on brake [ but misses and hits the go pedal ] car not stopping so pushes harder . By the time they realise what is happening its too late , they are on the news . l have seen dozens of these sort of accidents , not fatals though just had to pull cars out of shop windows etc .

I still have a manual choke in my car...

I use to have a daddo with the accelerator cable rigged up to the choke (the pedal broke). Took a whil to coordinate myself driving a manual like this but did it for 3 months .
