Was introduced to 'Turbo Shandy' at the weekendwhich is 1/2 pint of your favourite beer/lager plus a bottle of Smirnoff Ice. Certainly gets you where you're going!
Any other car-related concoctions doing the rounds out there?
Turbo-shandy has long been a mainstay of the drinking habits of the locals in St-Andrews.
We also have another drink known as the 'Diesel.' Diesel is known to you all, im quite sure under a variety of names such as Pinky-P, snakebite and black etc. It is of course half a lager, half a cider and some blackcurrent cordial.
However, the advantage of calling it diesel is that you can add 'turbos.' A turbo-diesel is said drink with the addition of a shot of vodka. A twin turbo-diesel is .... etc etc The ultimate drink (which can just be kept down
) is the 'bugatti' - which is (yes, you've guessed it) a diesel with 4 shots of vodka Think EB110
And yes, we have little else to do up here

"Turbo" is a generic term for spicing up any drink
e.g.
Pimms = Pimms + lemonade + fruit
Turbo Pimms = as above but with 1/4 a bottle of gin in each jug (I add a splash of Tequila too but nobody ever walks away from my house)
Favourite phrase at the moment "cooking lager" to describe any 3% europiss
"Pint of Nelson ?"
"Nah, I'm driving, just a cooking lager please"

"Blastaways", tastes just like Tango, it was one of the most popular drinks in Blackpool about 10 years ago (showing my age there).
Take one pint glass - chilled, pour in one bottle of Dimond White and one bottle of Castaway. Stir and drink.
The normal limit is 2 glases before people keel over.

Thank you Clare, you have just reminded me of one of the funniest nights of my life!

A favourite of mine in student days was the "Strawberry Milkshake". Advocat and blackcurrent in the bottom of a pint glass, add a shot of vodka and fill up half with cider and half with larger. Tasted (and looked) quite a lot like it's name, but I never needed more than two...

And what's that got to do with cars ?

Oh really...?
*feels nervous*
Used to live with a geordie who regularly proclaimed he could out drink anyone on anything. A dimuntive female friend of mine (not entirely playing by the rules) challenged him to a drinking contest, 6 blastaways later, my poor geordie mate had not only puked all over his bed, the bathroom and the stairs but his girlfriend as well!

When I was at Uni the girls used to drink Blastaways all the time. Meanwhile I was going through a snakebite and black stage (I'm cured now). Needless to say there wasn't an awful lot of sex but plenty of dribbling and telling each other "You're bloody gorgeous, you are". On one occasion this was followed by a dash out of the fire exit when I realised I'd got my tongue down the throat of a fat ginger scouse girl 
Alcohol: ban it now.
Alcohol: ban it now.
The most I ever managed was 3 Blastaways but one night I did manage 14 Dimond Whites (I had just split with my boyfriend and was out celebrating).
I passed out on the stairs at home, in the morning dad found me, draged me to the toilet and left me in there all day just putting pints of water outside the door.
Never touched Dimond White since, although I do fancy a Blastaway now.

Hmmm - fits the descrption of a mates girlfriend from when I was a student.
She used to complain that it wasn't much fun to feel stone cold sober when everyone else was utterly rat-arsed. Nobody ever drank her under the table - not even close!

Stuart, I used to live in Cupar, frequenter of the much missed 'Drookit Dug'where it was difficult not to get locked in, give it a try if you haven't already. Used to enjoy Ma Camerons or whatever overlooking the Sealife Centre.....it's an alkies paradise in that part of the world
I've heard stories about the 'dug' - sounds a bit legendary! The place on the sea front is 'Ma Bells' and is indeed an alkies paradise. I used to live on the sea-front and it was just a short stumble from the front door. Over the last few months its appeal has been heightend by the appearance of a Grey Noble M12 often parked outside the entrance - I think it belonged to Willie Robertson, owner of crail airfield before he lost his liscence - im sure someone in PH land will back me up or shoot me down on that last statement
Cheers everyone!
