About 18 months ago, driving along the dual carriageway with a few of our mates, we thought it would be a good idea to see who could get to our destination the quickest. We all had shitty average cars: mine was a Clio, friends had Fiesta/Corsa etc. There were some traffic cones that edge out the 2 lanes into 1, as they were doing road works at the time. Somehow, I managed to squeeze my car through the small gap (roughly, and suitably, the size of a 1999 Renault Clio, 3 door) in between the last traffic cone and the other car behind me. No idea how I managed it.

Next one, the roundabout on the same stretch of road about 500 yards further down. I decided to take said roundabout's second exit at 40mph in 5th gear...in the outside lane, as the inside was occupied. I remember getting my car sideways around the roundabout - JUST missing the curb as I was coming off the roundabout, and I somehow managed to control it and got the car straight again. My mate was holfing on for his dear life.

Needless to say I was driving no faster than 50mph for the rest of the dual carriageway.

Then, a few months later my MOT was due. It failed on a broken coil spring. My Dad had no idea how this would've happend. Neither do I .... *looks shifty*

I like to think of
holfing as a word meaning trying not to puke while desperately also trying to hold on.

That's a point!
Though Google throws up some really weird image results for 'holfing', I'm crap at photoshop and I can't see the reply button :(

That's exactly how I read it
Like desperate dry heaves of panic

To be honest, that's how I felt at the time.

Holf.

I don't "get it".
You once behaved like a twat by racing on the road and your car once failed an MOT test because of a broken coil spring. The former may or may not have caused the latter and a broken coil spring may or may not have made being a cock in your car more dangerous.
