Properly embarrassed myself this morning!
Playing with a Focus ST along the country lanes on the way in to work, all pretty friendly.
Got into town on a dual carriageway and stopped at some traffic lights. I was in the left hand lane behind an old duffer in a Rover and the ST was in the right, at the front of the queue. He moved over and beckoned me so I filtered in front of the old guy. Then the lights turned green and I dumped the clutch a bit too sharply. The front wheel came up, I shut off, slammed back down which banged it into second without the clutch so it totally bogged down, wobbled and slowly crawled away. I could actually hear the bloke laughing at me!

Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.
