Default Most embarrassing thing thats happened in your Scoob?

Bored at work so just wondered who's had embarrassing experiences in their Scoob.

I drove up someone's drive last week and the car was so low I could'nt get back off again, it's not good having to chock up wood to get your car off a drive

That was embarrassing

Putting my wipers on everytime I won't to go left or right has been quite difficult to accept, but returning a scoobywave or flash of the lights with a squirt of screenwash and a swoosh, swoosh, swoosh is simply humiliating!

Possibly quite stimulating for her too mate!!

I once got distracted by a couple of pretty ladies admiring the car whilst at the lights, so much so that I forgot to put the car into first and tried to take off in neutral! Embarassing hearing the scooby growl and then taking about 5 secs (it seemed much longer) to figure out why the hell I wasn't going anywhere! I think its fair to say that after that they left with the opinion: nice car, pity about the driver!

I took my mistake like a man and only wept for a couple of hours!

ok here we go, just bought a used my98 back in 2002 with 280 bhp, going home on the motorway i trashed some audis and some other faster marques, 10 km further ahead nr 3 piston went up in smoke and a huge plume came out the back ofcourse i went for the emergency track and while parking there all the cars i had overtaken came past me, no need to say i was hiding down in the footwall


that was so embarresing, and ofcourse i was gutted at the same time since i actually drove the car from the place i just bought it 1 hour earlier
btw he got the car back and i got my money back but took some time to get my pride back and the gutted scars are well over with my MY99

Missing second gear when getting my foot down from the lights. (sorry, but it's a lovely wide, straight road!)

When I first got my My97, the starter motor was a bit dodgy. A couple of time I'd blocked people in in the tiny pub car-park and was so chuffed when people said "Who's is the Subaru outside, can you just move it please"

Then it wouldn't start so I had to get a mate to push/rock a little to start it.

A spider dropped down by the drivers window and I went to get it and hit the kerb with my front wheel as I took my eyes off the road luckily no damage though.

I was patiently filling up my running scoob with petrol whilst having a nerve-calming ***, talking to our lass on the mobile and sparking with me clogs when.... well, you can guess the rest.
