wheres me can of "stop ya ba$tard"? pulled out of a pub car park after a kind soul flashed me out, floored it and the bugga stuck down, managed to get my toe under the pedal and pull it back and it were only a matter of seconds but i almost shat
Mat I think, or at least a mechanical pedal issue. Cable issues in the engine bay, lifting the pedal makes sod all difference. Happened to me in a Mk1 MR2 with a frayed cable. I just turned it off and rolled to a halt. The joys of simple cars with no power steering and minimal braking assistance eh?
I used to have a Yamaha FZR 1000 EXUP with a dodgy throttle cable, I used to use it as cruise control on long journeys until it decided to stick open. Really un~funny on 2 wheels flying along on at eye watering accelleration trying to grab the keys with one hand and hold a screaming bike with the other. Through the red fog coming out of my mouth you could just about make out the words "wish I`d fixed that".
Hahaha, cruise control via frayed throttle cable, nice
Mine was heading to Porthmadog across 'the cob' at a peak of around 80-90mph or so on the rev limiter. I rolled to a halt as though I'd meant it right outside Cob Records, where I was going anyway

That must have happend in back in 1990 on the Ballygowan Rd just past Crossnacreevy, heading to my mates.
Amazing, the random memories that surface with a little prompting. Brilliant.
My Surf had`nt been built then either come to think of it. Wow it was a long time ago.
