Default Re: Strange one-off things your car has done

Had an old 2003 BA xr6 that managed to lose a fog light while travelling a little quicker than I should have been... Also managed to drift that once without hitting a kerb lol

2006 BF gt, not realizing just how quick I was travelling, shifted from 6th to 3rd at 170kmh, instead of a little compression lockup it hit nearly 8000rpm as if the limiter didn't exist. Haven't been back to that private road to try again, not that keen to try either lol
Also had a failing fuel pump last year but ford said it was rust in my fuel tank causing my problems so it couldn't be replaced under warranty...
Fuel tank is plastic, fuel pump housing is plastic, and I didn't find any rust in the tank. Told the service manager he was a ******** and replaced it myself.

Sitting in my FG ute last week listening to the radio after just starting it. The volume just slowly goes down a level every second till down to zero. Turn the volume back up and it does it again. Turn it back up again and then its fine..

My old FG work ute would do that on the odd occasion too

I drove a HQ Holden fitted with a M21 gearbox on Sunday that DIDN'T get itself jammed in reverse at the worst possible time.
