I was driving in to work tonight when I saw an S2000 coming the other way. I looked a bit closer and realised there were three fully grown adults in it!!

The girl who was sat in the middle was head and shoulders higher than the other two. God knows what she was sitting on - it was either the transmission tunnel or maybe even the folded down hood!

The driver wasn't exactly hanging around either! I wasn't feeling the best, but it cheered me up no end.

Just wondered if anyone else has ever gone for some hardcore 3 up action?

 

Nope, no threesomes here

On a serious note, the police would take a very dim view of it! It is a bit silly as the slightest bump would see the person in the middle go flying out of the car.

 

Heh, nearly happened to me the other day coming back from work. I was giving it plenty on the back-road home, and was in a hurry so had forgot to put my seatbelt on (I normally wear it so no lectures please!). I came over the brow of a hill at approx 60-70mph and lifted clean off the seat!

Had I been going any quicker I dread to think what would have happened!

 

Ask Kelk about that from the Academy Day - did a timed circuit with no seatbelt kacking himself ! (well that's his excuse anyway )

But no, no threesomes in an S for me

 

I sometimes give 2 mates a lift home (m + f) in stevenage, but only from the town to their houses 3 miles away. (she is quite small !)

 

drat - no piccies

would have been interesting

Done 3 up before, for a laugh and to get a mate back from the pub (I never drink drive btw!) - quite funny watching his face!

This thread just points out the fact that we live in such a crap nanny state, I mean 3 up in an S2000 would be considered luxury travel in some parts.

A family of five on a moped is standard transport in Thailand, they even had space to grill chicken on the side, and just to make things proper scarey the designated driver was the youngest boy, looked around eight.

 

A moped has a lower terminal speed though.

 

Not in the S...but....

About 20 yrs ago I had a beach buggy. Me and my mate were heading down a hill (Mansfield Road, Nottm) into town for a pizza one summer evening when we saw an oncoming police traffic car literally force a Crapri up onto the pavement, blocking it in at 45 deg.

2 guys immediately jumped out the Crapri and legged it back down the hill and across the road into a (notorious) housing estate. The copper (a big fat bloke) driving the traffic car jumped out and attempted to pursue on foot but was soon outta breath and bent double.

By this time we'd passed the traffic car and caught up with the copper who was standing right in the middle of the road. I slowed to almost a stop (obviously!!) and as we passed him my mate (in a moment of madness imho) shouts 'jump in' to the copper. The copper looks back up the hill to his car 100yds away, takes one look at us, and promptly jumped up onto the back of the beach buggy and sat on the rear of the body, his legs behind each seat and holding onto the roll bar in front of him!

"Where you wanna go?" i ask. "Thanks. Down there and I'll tell you as we go" he replied and pointed to the one way street which cuts across onto a parallel main road. So...nearly sh*tting myself....off i go - the wrong way down this one way street with this copper in a bright yellow vest hanging onto the back! We cross the next road with him holding his hand up to stop some traffic and he directs me across a set of traffic lights on red (nothing coming though!) and into the housing estate.

Now...beach buggies are pretty nippy and especially good on tight narrow roads, so we spend the next 15 mins belting road this housing estate (and even thru a small park!) looking for these guys which legged it. Eventually he gave up and we drove him back to his car via a house on the estate which was completely surrounded by police vans with there blues on - turns out it was a drugs bust and the guys in the Crapri had made their escape during the raid.

All his colleagues outside waved and jeered at him as we passed them - the copper on the back (still hanging onto the roll bar for all his worth!) was grinning from ear to ear, clearly proud of his commandeered chariot!!

No word of a lie....thats 100% true, no embelishments! I wouldn't have believed it...and I'm sure that'd never happen nowadays (or even should have back then!). Great fun, even though I was bricking it!! Certainly, the rest of the evening was a complete anti-climax!

How i wish I'd had a camera phone then....

Top that?

 

Yeah, first time I slammed the brakes on I ate the steering wheel. Not using this as an excuse, this time anyway, but the way that my head in the helmet kept going whilst the car didn't was pretty alarming stuff.

Never done 3 up in an S and never will, well not on public highways, stupid, dangerous and asking for injury / fatality and anyone that brags about it IMO is a tw@t
