  Toyota Stuck Accelerator

  by PEC in

  i just don't get it, why can't people shift into neutral, when this happens?

  in the 1980's, i had a car accelerator stick a few times; before, i found out it was the floor mat, this was a very powerful car for it's day, about 240 hp.

  i learned to pull the floor mat down every time i got in the car, no big deal.

  already had doubts from the time i got pubes... but i was about 15 and we were studying the revelation "book" for the upteenth time.

  i realized for every actual bible verse they qouted there was 2-3 paragraphs of conjecture, assumption, faulty logic and just plain stupidity.

  that's when i began to plan my escape.

  fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul.

  as one who has been wanting a flat screen tv really badly, i took this story very hard.. what would drive someone to such madness?.

  my first thought it was 'oldhippie' had seen something on tv he didn't like.

  somebody making fun of the geico lizzard and he decided to even the score.

  Conventions/Assemblies in England

  does anyone remember haysbridge, crystal palace, twickenham, dorking from the 80's/90's.........so many memories there.

  the 5p lunch vouchers, the aroma of bacon rolls and hot doughnuts at twickenham, the smell of coffee as 50,000 odd opened their thermos flasks at lunchtime.

  walking around endless laps of the perimeter of the stadium at break times, watching the airplanes flying low over twickenham stadium en route to heathrow.. cinema style seats at dorking assembly hall, the baptismal pool built into the stage, flapping my hands in the water and getting told off.

  I think I went somewhere else when the streaker incident occurred. I remember others talking about it.

  Do I remember Bob Emmett .....? "twas on the Monday morning the gas man came to call" - he sang in his best Bernard Cribbins' voice.

  You'll have a PM in 5 mins!

  I remember most of these... I must've been rebellious! Avoided Hayesbridge though.... too many boat journeys in one year. (Originate from the I of W)

  Bomb scare at Southampton? I remember coming out of the Dell sitting on some grass thinking I should go up the road and watch Hampshire playing cricket. THat is ONE vivid memory for me.

  Assemblies on the Isle of Wight... we all thought that would be great, we'll show those 'overners' (name given to Mainlanders) that we can do it, we don't need any foreigner's help! That one act created a whole new breed of Nazi elders! Independent, power hungry egotists living on/within an isolated community. I'm convinced many 'mainland' elders came to escape their troubles and create some new ones on the Island.

  Plymouth - we used that as a holiday too - got into trouble over that one. Never stopped me though. Missed the Air Display, must've gone to Norwich - LoL

  Twickneham airshow was a great spectacular if you like commercial aircraft..... at least one every 70 seconds.

  So glad I worked on the sound .... relieved all the enevitable boredom. Must've worked with cantleave.... bet you were introduced to it by Jim Burgess?

  Ah memories ... guess it wasn't all bad - once you remove the Pharasaical doctrine.
