    Me, whilst waiting on a friend. A pair of Wanli's, but not just any old pair, but a bald pair.

    :eek:

    Now after all the bad stories I have heard about them here, I cant imagine what a bald set would be like, or the amount of driving some one would have to do to get them that worn.

    Off the top of my head I saw an Octy with 2 studs, Rover 75 with a honorificly wobbly wheel on the M1 shoot by us like we were stopped, low cars spark off the road, a Vento towing a trailer with a broken axle thus burning the tyres off the trailer, a car pushing another car on a main road (I'm guessing lack of tow rope), cars going down the wrong way of a one way st.... Plenty more!

    My favourite was in Metro Manila, a Tamaraw crammed with people and the axle was tied to the body with a chain :eek:

    Saw an old geezer lock up the brakes of his tattered Alfa and almost cause a pile up, in order to pick up a copy of the herdald from one of those orange cladded slaves :(

    I dont know why he bothered, theyre on EVERY junction, he could have just waited till the next red light :confused:

    Not sure i would say shocked more just stupid.

    On motorway and ambulance sitting in overtaking lane and refusing to pull over. I eventually undertook him.

    However car behind refused to do that and sat directly behind the ambulance in ordinary lane while another car sat behind the ambulance in the overtaking lane.

    Nobody going anywhere due to ignorance of ambulance driver.

    Not today but last Saturday at the Park & Ride car park in Cork, parked beside a battered looking Silver Yaris, checked it's NCT cert as I was getting out of my car (I had my own NCT a few weeks back so it was on my mind) and it expired in 2011 :eek:
