Ok The most dummest thing I have ever done in a car would have to be the time I was travelling to Perth from Newman at about 170'ks.. everything was okie dokie until I proceeded down a Floodway whilst putting out a but in the ashtray & noticed that it was covered by about 20 meters of water that was 50mm or therebouts deep....
Well it was brown jocks that day I swear.. Never had I aquaplained b4 & this was the most scariest time Id had.
I ended up facing the scenery behind me after spinning once I think ( Eyes Closed)
For the next 1/2hr easy trying to drive was impossible as I couldnt even push my foot on the clutch cause I was shaking that bad...............
Lets say Im alot more observant that I was then

When I was in primary school I thought it would be fun if I threw a big rubber at the teacher while he was writing on the board. When he turned around to see who did it I said " I didn't throw that rubber at you"....

dumbest thing? two counts:
160kmh down burns bay road in lane cove at 3pm
150-155kmh or so down a melbourne highway at night, while it was raining.

i guess i've done dumber things, (120 through 50 zones on daily basis) but i can't remember now.

LMAO :)

have done some pretty dumb things...

called a teacher a bitch (she didnt like that), stormed out of a classroom after a dickhead teacher tore up my completed work (he didnt think i hadfinished), 120k's around kings park at night with 4 passengers in my dads 1.3 laser :) , hurling abuse at some kid on a bike with a cigarette in my mouth...making rude gestures to some idiot who was sitting right on the limit in the right lane and i wanted to get past. of course he drove a camry. when we pulled up at the lights, he put on his police cap and proceeded to lecture me on being impatient (he was brass too). having a run in with an off duty copper in acar park who insisted that 10kmh was the correct speed. gave him a mouthful and some tasteful gestures and when i got to the lift, he flashed the badge. my wife later told me she thought she would die trying not to laugh at me...

Hey Nick, be careful. You don't want to take over as the new "trophy holder" do you?

Seriously, you will get caught if you keep that up.

Not Auto related, but I broke a drinking glass in my hands by squeezing it, cut my thumbs up pretty bad :dead: :oo1:

I don't know if this classifies as the dumbest but when I was 17 I dumped 20 litres of oil at No:3 carpark in Perth ( for you Eastern Staters that was a well known place to hang out for petrol heads ) a whole heap of people started to do burnouts and after a while Mr Plod and a council truck with a load of sand arrived and spoiled the fun.
