Do any cars bring back odd memories?

[Cavcraft]

Excuse the slightly 'odd' nature of this but I saw a Toledo today and it reminded ne vividly of some mis-spent youth activities.Basically me and the posse back in the day used to ride round in a Toledo and one of things we used to do was play 'catch the shaggers' which basically involved driving round the local lover's lanes late at night, and seeing if any suspect cars were parked up in laybys etc. If they were we'd leave it ten minutes or so, go back round with the lights off and creep forward until about forty or fifty yards short of our 'target' then hit the highbeam, horn and spots at the same time as the loud pedal. You wouldn't believe how many suddenly jumped naked into the front seats and we possibly single handedly caused a mild dip in birth rates locally. We got a quite a few good chases out of it at the time but luckily never got caught.Now obviously the above was all very puerile and silly, and definately not big or clever, but everytime I see a Toledo now I smirk to myself Anyone else got any random car memories or shall I just go and take my pills?

LOL! We used to do that in New Brighton! If you ever went hunting in Stanney Woods and saw someones bare arse in a yellow Alfasud it was probably mine! (The Alfa and the arse that is)

Can't help but wonder if the Toledo you are mentioning is the Seat or Triumph variety.

[Cavcraft]

Showing my age here it was a Triumph. But if you've been caught 'at it' by a Seat please do tell the details?

Is that bowling alley still in New Brighton? I lived in Wallasey for a while several years back.

[warren t claim]

Yes, but they knocked it down and rebuilt it. Looks exactly the same though!

It's not funny......I was caught bollock deep in a Young Lady in the passenger seat of an E21 323i in that 'highway vehicles only' pull in on the M5 in the Taunton area. Some arse in an Orion.........

Still on a pervy note, the only time a pervert tried to entice me into a car as a boy the car concerned was a brown Maxi! Lots of room for puppies prehaps?

When I was little a man invited me into his house to see some puppies. I went in and he showed me some puppies. I can't help feeling cheated.

Hello boys!!

Swear to God me and a mate were 'approached' by some nonce on a C90 years and years back, we must have been about 12 at the time. Anyhow he asked us to meet him round the back of the zoo so we arranged to and got him to ride up and down a quiet lane wiating for us.There was a hum back bridge and we hid in some bushes waiting for him and when he rode past we bombared the bastard with apples and knocked him clean off

I never realised Paedos existed until one day my Mum told me I couldn't go see "Skip" any more............he was a "lonely" old bloke that lived on the next street, with a great view of the railway line......seems he was lining me up to be his next erm........experience......"shudders".........Citroen Ami estate in turquoise always brings back memories of fruit picking with the next door neighbour's wife one school holidays, and while we were picking fruit, her skirt became entangled, and as she stood up to move on to the next bush (fnarr) she left it there............I saw the lot, spiders legs and all. Never put me off though......I was about 12 at the time.......never made it into my "wank bank" though.

There's deffo something about Honda C90 paedopeds. Beloved by Dungeons and Dragon players, trainspotters and kiddy fiddlers the world over.

A schoolchum's father worked for OTIS and he always had smoke canisters - bloody huge things for testing lift shafts apparently - in his shed. A bunch of us took one down to Orton Mere car-park one dark evening and waited for amorous couples usually in parents'/older siblings' cars. Once the car started to rock, he crept over to it and lit the fuse placing the canister under the car. Once the car was enveloped by smoke, we would shout "your cars on fire mate" from a safe distance and watch the scene unfold.Other memorable naughtiness:wedging nails against all four tyres. Mixed results especially for one mate who when wedging nails suffered the indignity of a door opening, something being spat out landing on his shoulder.Attaching very large posters to the rear of the car saying "we f*cked at Ferry Meadows" - hopefully to be discovered by "Dad" the following morning.Connecting the car bumper/tow bar/axle to a tree stump via very strong rope.We did worse too, but I can't bring myself to admit to it.

[warren t claim]

You did worse than that!!!

[ChinaTom]

yes. Much.
