Worst journey?
Just got back from work, and well let's just say I had a passenger who I agreed to take home, however this passenger is a bit on the................ large size. 25 stone in fact. I was a bit scared if I'm being honest. My last MOT came out with an advisory of rust on the passenger side front suspension, and as soon as they sat in the car it just went sideways. I don't want to sound rude but my god, the steering isn't power steering, so as you can imagine, I was literally fighting the wheel to keep to the right! Also needed a solid 4000RPM I reckon in first to pull away lol.
Anyway, what has your worst journey where you have been driving? Do tell!

LOL!
My two worst journeys would be last Christmas driving from near Aylesbury/High Wycombe to York during the worst of the snow. The further north i went the less of the M1 i could see. Also i didn't have any wipers as the motor fuse had gone.
The other one was about three years ago from Newcastle to York when the bad snow had just started. Went to fill the car up. Was really cold, but roads were ok. By the time I had filled up the road was covered white. It took me about 4 hours to do a 1.5 hour drive. It was shit!

I watch this also, you ever seen the one with the 747 where the cockpit snapped of 35.000ft in the air and the plane kept going up and down for about 30 mins before ploughing into the sea, they reakon 90% of passengers where still conscious until it hit the water. Fuck that!

lol it's fine Blackeyedgirl, statistically only 1 in 5 planes crash nowadays!
And lol to you hefty, seriously awkward! To make it slightly more awkward I would have possibly dropped her off somewhere near the house, and not at the house. God I'm evil!
Loving the stories here guys.
