Fitting some new brake pads to my mates Astra lastnight at my house, we finnished up. I went in to wash my hands then heard this almight "SMASH"

Went outside, my mate had started the car in gear and it had launched his freshly kitted Astra into my garage!!

Its scraped the door and fucked the bumper, it pushed my motorbike into the wall!! No damage to that other than the footpeg has broken (which was lucky)

Got some pics, uploading them now.

harsh, its a nice car - that the one you were in at the ace cafe that time Ollie?

I never actually sit in my car when I start it, I reach in turn the key and stand around letting the oil go round the engine for a while before I rag it (My dad gave me a lecture about fucking my car up )... the only thing is - if my car is stuck in 1st and I did that, my car would drive off with out me or run over my feet
