Why sometimes it's better to keep your cool.......
 
I work for a large parcel delivery company and one of the drivers turned up for work today, got the hump because something wasn't in the right place.

He then jumped back into his BMW in a mood, stuck it into reverse and floored it so much that he when he tried to turn it he rolled it onto it's roof straight in front of the CCTV camera. He managed to crack his engine as well as bending the column's either side of the windscreen creating £12k worth of written off BMW.

4 other managers and i spent 40 mins hitting replay on the CCTV whilst pi**ing ourselves.

I'm just gutted that i won't be there tomorrow when he has to come in and face 40 other drivers who will never let him live this down.

I'm working on getting a copy of the CCTV at the moment, especially seeing as we got it from two angles :lol: :lol:

Hate that.
What sort of Bmer was it? An SUV? I would be suprised if a 3 or a 5 series would roll so easily. I wonder was it the fact that he was steering with the wheels behind him that made it flip.

This needs to be posted up anyway. :laughat:

I saw a re-run of that bit on Vroom Vroom where they tested the myth that you can't roll a 2CV.

And you can't - going forwards. :twisted:

In reverse, with the engine weight behind you rather than infront and it went over like 50p Lil when offer £1**.

** This will only make sense to those familiar with Northampton oldest resident hooker, or seen the IMDB forum for the film 'Sexy Boots' in which she is also mantioned. Along with two of our best - Firetramp and White Lightening Man. :roll:

Was a 3 series. Am trying to get a copy but i'll have to get someone who knows more then i do to edit my company logo and distinctive vans out in case my company don't like it.

Wow. It has to have something to do with the fact that it was being steered from "the back" wheels. You live and learn I suppose.8)

Yeah... you should definately be careful about the old company logo stuff etc. I know nothing about that sort of thing. No help to you at all I am afraid :?.
