How to earn a night full of free drinks...

[kizz81]

hello,
on friday it was the 6th form christmas party and i gets a phone call from my friend saying.... "erm kieran, ive erm, im stuck help please"
he had driven round an icy corner to fast and ended up in the forest about 15 meters away from the road :shock: missed all the trees and no one else who stopped to help him could pull him out because it meant driving in the forest and then back across the road into the other side of forest....


then on the way home i heard a really loud bang followed by a face full of mud, a stone flicked up and hit a rusty bit and put a hole there :shock:

it was worth it for a night full of free drinks :lol:

what car was he driving? cant make it out.

Another way of free drinks is to be the driver for the night for your mates. admitedly it is soft drinks but even so!! :lol:

Well, I don't like alcohol (just think soft drinks taste better) so that suits me perfectly!

He was driving one of those Volvo S40's its his first car and not long since passed his test.
sorry about the phot quality i was trying to take it quick as it was cold and there was all of his family watching so i didnt think i would be welcomed taking pictures :lol:

Errrm, Tim could tell you about Rufford ford and how to get water out of a 300tdi.  I've got a couple of friends who could tell you about getting a series 3 out of a frozen puddle at midnight too.  :oops:

I have been there, i got myself £20 for winching a bmw out of a nasty ditch. got us a few drinks in for the night for a few mins job lol  :P

i once pulled a car away from a burning building.
all i got for it was a beating from the cars owner as she wanted the claim on the insurance and get a new one!

I am tee total and been trialing it for a few years now and I can succesfuly say it works well. I have found that if you take a minibus ful of people it works alot better in your favour :lol:
