There was once a thread titled Stupid Tractor Tricks.
As I have recently replaced a brake master cylinder (which has never worked during my ownership) on Brutus, I now have the thrill of having and being able to use "turning brakes". /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
These turning brakes have been found to be very beneficial and I have been using them lately quite a lot...even to the point of starting to be accostomed to using them "automatically".
Well, I just came back to office after errand and upon turning my Miata in a hairpin fashion to enter parking space, I could see where I had not cut turn quite sharp enough. No problem, I jabbed my left foot out and hit my left turning brake /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif to help me squeeze into the parking spot. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
Thankfully, I ACTUALLY hit my clutch & nothing happend.
I couldn't help to laugh at my fortune/misfortune /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Somehow I don't think my Miata would have won the fight against some of those other automobiles (trucks actually)
