Smile Why can't people reverse these days

Just spent 20 minutes stuck behind someone trying to reverse 50yds back up a single track road which had an unsigned road block

They were all over the place and kept having to go forwards to straighten up. What is it with some people

I could have gone for a couple of pints and still got back in time I can't stand wasting valuable drinking time

If it was a woman it will explain.

Lack of spacial awareness.

Controversial?

Maybe.

But IMO true.

So Gregsterwiz,

Do you attend any of the meets?
I'm wanting to attend the next one you go to.
Just to see if you get out alive and your car intact

We're safe up here with our sexist opinions as there aren't any female s2kjocks.

Roy Castle did turn up once claiming to be a woman but he and his husband didn't come back after writing off the difference in pace to the jocks cars were modified, then being told they were all stock.

My wife isnt the best of reverse's, I used to go home, get hammered so I could hardly walk and she would come and pick me up.

When we got home we had to swop seats and I would have to reverse the car up the drive !!!

That's not strictly true Gaz, depends on whether you mean S2ki members that have earned a Jock badge or if you mean active members in the other place.

There are quite a few ladies that have earned their Jock badge albeit as passengers in most cases.

Still well earned in my opinion, after all they had to put up with us lot!

Real jocks are the natives, not these plastic ones who sat in the passenger seat or even made the trip for a meet, IMO.
