I'm sure most people have heard about me being beaten by a chick in a Barina back when I still had the 21R-C....

You ever run a Barina? They're not that slow, and the RA60 isn't the fastest thing on the block... Plus my 21R-C was on its last legs at that time.

Don't worry Nark i know how it feels, i got beaten by a Vectra hit 2nd gear and was side by side and starting to pull away and thought "once i hit 3rd i'll have this guy" went to go into third but F**K went into 5th by mistake must of got to excited with the gear stick.
also gave a HSV Senator a drag off the lights beat me by a mile and i don't think he was trying

Driving at Phillip Island earlier this year. The 4M was on its last legs and for 1.5 laps I was hounded by a stock JB Camira. Unthinkable yet true.

Got home and did a comp test to find 3 cylinders were down.

Speaking of sirion, I got behind a gti version of one yesterday. Talk about your slow pieces of crap. Had to brake while idling take off so I didn't run into it.
Opps, sorry gianttomato. 
I don't have an embarrassing moment. Maybe I'll stall the auto one day or something.......

my most embassing moment is taking a large roundabout too fast, power sliding to the left, overcompensating and sliding right, right into one of those pedestrian poles and into a council garden, but worst of all i had 4 friends in the car too... with their parents following
all i needed was a new bumber thou

if you shift from "R" to "D" (or maybe the other way around) while moving slowly it'll stall it for sure... I did that twice before i figured outm why it kept stalling

Embarrasing moments...? 
hmmmm.. there was one time when i'd been practicing left foot braking through a roundabout.. Accelerating out of the roundabout i went to grab third gear, only to have my left foot find the brake again, instead of the clutch!! Pulled me up so quickly that it hurt my bloody neck that did!
Missing 2nd gear while racing some guys in a VL a couple of weeks ago was pretty embarrassing too.. It wasn't just your typical 2nd gear "corolla crunch" either..  This one just refused to go in, and crunched quite loudly for a good few seconds..

Must have to be real hard. I did that on the way home from a set of lights, probably up to 3k I think. Even there the car wants to pull.
Well, I got ahead of the pack, WAY ahead. Only shifted from 2nd to 3rd (drive) at 80 though, so it wasn't the hardest by a long shot.

Good thing it was a ford. At least you can't stuff something that is already stuffed.

Well, there you go. Time to drive a real car.
Just kidding.
Maybe one day soon I'll see how hard I can rev it before it stalls or I can't stop it from spinning the wheels.

Most embarressing moment:
Driving along with my grilfriends little brother in the car who thinks it's "awesome" (he's about 14), gi ti floor it to overtake my girlfriend in her car when all of a sudden i have absolutely no power and accellerating is making me slow down (weird). i brake to the side of the road as i'm still chugging along the car is spluttering, jumping, hopping down the road i check my fuel guage and milage.. empty at 300 miles...
I guess i just found out my maximum distance i'll go with a full tank..
