You Know Your Tired When....

[HDi fun]

1996-1999 Jaguar XK-8 and XK-R have an even sillier arrangement. THe handbrake is to the right of the drivers seat in a UK RHD car (adjacent to the door).

It's a pick it up and put it down affair. But the lever always falls to the floor. How do you know if it's released or applied? At least until you start to move and the car screams 'brake on' messages. And the lever is still down.

SO, do you pcik it up again?

I dunno.

god damn it my head is spinning!

3 pedals for manual: clutch brake and accelorator everything where it bloody should be, and auto: brake then accelorator and everything where it should be! anything else is taboo and should be shunned from society as it breeds a new kind of human: unable to drive.

like an old lady trying to reverse a volvo.

Next to the doors hardly seems the most convenient place to put it. The thing that really niggled me about the foot/hand brake was the clacking noise of the rachet as it engaged. I was always taught to push the button in when apply so you don't wear the teeth down. Also, releasing the e-brake resulted in a very sudden pop-and-go sort of affair, especially on a hill start.

Can we get a drift racer in one of these cars please? I want to see how they manage a Scandanavian flick with a bit of handbrake.

You know you're tired when you fall asleep mid poo and fall off the toilet.

Isn't that a bit messy fingers?

you know your tired when you leave your wallet on top of your car after re fuelling.

Yukky - let's leave that one there. Although I supposed if you're plastered at the time it's marginally more forgivable.

You're tired when you actually do fill a diesel car with unleaded and manage to drive away again without noticing the terminal destruction of the engine until it finaly seizes.

I suppose managing to ram the diesel nozzle into the tank of a petrol car takes some effort too so that's maybe up with the top ten.

you know you're tired when you finish your fag while sat on the toilet, and throw it through your legs, and it hits the branch on the way down.

i dont smoke but i found this hilarious when someone i knew did it, and when it blistered up, his partner accused him of cheating and contracting an STD.....

What about leaving a briefcase or a baby on the roof of the car?? I have seen both!

A baby?! What great parenting...although would be kinda funny if they drove off!

You know your tired when you can't read the comment you just posted!
