Well I'd probably just understeer into ya :D So yep, thats extreme.
Why?
If you had broken down common sense would say to roll it forward/back to the hard shoulder too lol

From what I've read you've had nothing but problems with that since you bought it. What happened this time? lol
Bet that was risky getting in and out of though..

Ran out of fuel lol
Petrol station is only 5 splutters away, didnt make it though
Oh and the highways agency came, pushed it over and fooked off.
Youre a lucky boy you didnt get seen by the feds as iirc, tis a offence to enter a motorway knowing/having insufficient fuel to make it off or to the next services/petrol station!

The feds came, they said it is an offence to leave the car and sod off to get fuel, if I did then the car would be towed. So I just waited, i wasnt on reserve when i went onto motorway but i noticed when pulled off the motorway that it had drank all my fuel and promptly cut out. Lets just say I went over 70 ;)
Silly boy, an urban legend that if you floor it youre more likely to reach the next services......
Nope drive like a granny and slowly build up speed to maximise your fuel and your chances of reaching next fuel shop lol

Durrrh ;) , I was late for work lol lol
LMAO
Or did you think you'd have enough momentum to just roll there instead?
Oh ffs, i bet that went down well letting them know why you were late, oopsie!
Has someone rattled your cage today Spud?
time of the month for him.. and hes getting more sensiable in his old age LOL
Has someone rattled your cage today Spud?
Dunno lol
Not being nasty but just pointing out stuffs is all, i woulda coasted to the side of the road but meh no harm done!
Thats like driving faster so you can turn off the car quicker.
hmm i would have coasted into the hard shoulder or at least put it in 4th and moved on the starter motor,thats a real dangerous area lol
lol Oh dear lord
What a pikey - BUY FUEL in advance its not rocket science

Thats not proper parking...

That is proper parking! I suprised the police didn't give you a producer for good measure... I don't see why leaving a car on chevrons/solid white lines is cool?

I was at a road rally in lampeter in wales, when i was at uni. 5 lads in a 106gti came up one of the roads that the rally cars were flying down, and they wacked the handbrake on and whelspun the car round and back the way the came. Was pretty cool at the time... But just a bunch of chavs lol

205 did exactly the same by bala must be a french thing
and do what the honda did all the time in work to get out of the work shop when its tight
Dont take this the wrong way, but i hate people that just leave the car right in the way then its not hard to push it out the way to be some where safer/ not blocking the world.
Shouting abuse at a guy to day who was blocking alane onthe roundabout with his 106 broken down i guess, he'd just put the hassard lights on, cleanerly not tryed to move it at all. Had a mate in the car too so it would have been easy to push it off the road.. but they where clearly lazy thick c*nts with no common sence.
Nice looking nova tho.

My boss was alright, just said at least I wasn't parked on double yellows (maybe a joke :confused: ).
I had also tried to push it, also asked someone who was changing a tyre close by, he said no lol.

i would have at least tried to move it and end of the day if you have time to take photos there is time to at least do something! nova drivers get a bad enough name as it is!!:(

Atleast you guys know what a hard shoulder is and how to use it... :)

Yes it is, the asda was due to be my next destination. I had tried to push it, it would not move, the traffic officer could not push it either, only just managed between the 3 as it was in a little dip lol.
Put it this way, the "little dip" broke my exhaust in 3 places, welded it up today :)

HA! Thought it was, i was in Leicester yesterday, thank god your car was not in the way when i past through, i hate getting cought in trafic.
Would have only taken one more dosy driver to turn that into a nasty accident.... i've seen some pretty awfull motorway accidents caused by less.
glad none got hurt... fool.

Amp? No amp just seats but I do have one of these now.

Well if it ever happens to you and you cant push it/move it out of the way, then ill larf and drive on :p . Oh and if anyone had of crahsed into it, there fault. It wasn't a "blind" corner, the car was clearly visable.
But does it contain any fuel? lol
Could you not have rolled the car back? Sometimes it's a helluva lot easier, and pretty safe to do so if you were on an incline.
I'm not convinced it is safe to push a car across a lane on your own, but thats just me.

If not second gear clutch out and starter motor ftw, thats if youre not carrying enough momentum to get fully out of the way!
Can't push a Nova? You woofter, feck I'm pushed mine uphill through some traffic lights on my own before lol
and lmfao @ Jim's pic, I hasten to add only ONE of us was broken there, its just the rest of us were too nice so had to stop as well. In the south west, we never leave a man behind! Until the traffic wombles turn up and tell us to fcuk off that is lol
Reminds me of when mine ran out near home. Could I feck push it up the big ass bank solo after a 12 hr. shift. I lost many man points that night :(
Until the traffic wombles turn up and tell us to fcuk off that is lol
i wee'd a little at that!lol lol lol
Straight out of the JC book of highway patrol hatred lol. Good call.
