Is it wrong to drive through a puddle on the side of the road with the intention of causing a wave to soak unsuspecting pedestrians who are just going about their business, or waiting for a bus etc?

I know its a wan*er thing to do, and everytime the oportunity presents itself, i do try to refrain from doing it....but its soooo funny that i sometimes cant help myself. If you saw this happen, would you swear and curse the person, or would you be more inclined to laugh?

For the record, i think some people should be off limits. e.g. Kids, parents with kids etc.

So, am i a really just a wan*er??

Be honest, do you do it, or have you done it?

Have you ever been hit by a wave while you were a pedestrian?

I got hit by one as a kid on my skateboard, and after I had got over the initial shock/anger, I realised how piss funny it was and have never managed to pass up an opportunity since.

Mind you, being the wanker kinda makes you assume everyone else is gonna do it so you learn to stay right away from roadside puddles.

haha i have been victim to the bus driver. but that was for the bus i was getting on, so i couldnt really avoid standing there

if you are a pedestrian and are stood on the edge of the kurb where you can see a puddle that has the potential to splash you then its your own fault for standign there

so its perfectly fine for a driver to drive through a puddle, its on the road you cant really avoid it now can you? eheheh

Hey i have been behind busses that have done it a lady was holding an umbrella and tried to use it as a shield didn't work very well, i have seen some people that are so addicted to doing this they take their own water with them to splash people

bit harsh perhaps. i would be reluctant to tsunami ladyfolk, or people wearing suits, imagine if it was you lol.

that said, my dream tsunami moment would be a mass of teenyboppers waiting outside a nightclub. paint their blinding fluoro clothing with good old fashioned mud!

baaahahaha awesome thread....... back in my hay day (yr11-yr12) we used to go around in my mates hilux surf jacked up with monster bf goodrich all terrain T/A's in winter before school looking for the opertunity...... the tables have turned considering i havnt been driving for the last 12 months... winters just coming up and we've had a few rains.... i keep an eye out and stay a way from those good old puddles when walkin just to make sure..... i recon it would be pretty uncomfortable covered with road water and grime lol

Setting up the car with big tyres etc, then driving around looking for the opportunity...thats just being a right prick about it!

p.s. love your work though :D

    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
