When i was 15 my mate and me 'borrowed' his dads restored mini, when it was my time to drive i put it through a wall, we pegged it denied all knowledge so his dad reported it stolen.

I still feel a bit guilty as i now appreciate the work and love involved in restoration.

Am i forgiven?

No. If it had been a Beetle i would have forgiven you and encouraged you to do it again but because it was a Mini you deserve hanging

Not sure what to start with?

OK

year before last I was at Le Mans 24 hr race with a group of about 20 (mostly AROC members) that go each year, on the last night (its a 5 day trip) the BBQ had finished so I moved it away from main marquee and put an IED in it for fun, it went off as to plan but showered burning coal onto the main tent and another tent, I got banned for this and was very upset. I also went into the tent wearing just white knickers with all on show, just after the bang. I think they over reacted but I would like to go again

Not forgiven for a number of reasons:-

1. It was my tent that ended up with more holes than a packet of polos
2. It was my BBQ that also got destroyed
3. It was a white thong which was made for a lady much more petit than you
4. You wore it the wrong way round
5. and finally and the reason you will remain unforgiven for ever, you hand painted a lovely Red 155 in the same colour as the TG Minty 75

You could also have confessed about arriving at the ferry port with steam coming out of the 155 engine bay, only to find when the bonnet was opened that when you checked the water before you left you forgot to refit the cap ;)

Ohhh okay now i get what this thread is all about. Okay heres mine.

When i was 13-14 years old i let my then friend smoke in our basement so his parents wouldnt see him smoke. And i told him to throw his cigarette outside when he would finish. He said okay... And he didnt. About an hour later we were playing football in the neighbourhood and we saw this MASSIVE black smoke coming out of our basement. That moment i said to myself thats it, im dead. The fire brigade came three times during that night because the fire was so strong it kept coming on again. Even a police officer came to take notes to what had happened. Obviously i lied because i was young and had no brain and they found out i did so :rolleyes:

So yeah 20-25 thousand pounds worth of goods were disappeared in a few minutes

Ok I have one :D

When I was a young/very young apprentice I had an old sparky making my life ****, I was an ONC Mech Elec engineering student and had to spend some time with this sparky it was a truly miserable time I learned nothing :(

So during the last week of my time with him I decided to exact my revenge, he used to wash his face at the end of the shift with Swafega some of you might remember that horrid old gunk :(

I mixed green gloss paint with flour to get the right consistency and replaced the swarfega with the mix, I took out a couple of bulbs in the main bogs where he kept the tin as his eyesight wasn't too keen I knew he'd dive right in :saifi:

I hung round outside the bogs at the end of the shift 10:00 shift and heard him scream :saifi:

I didn't hang round to see him run out with a face full of green paint because I bottled out but the scream was worth it :D
