-giving them the dodgy controller
-keeping on pausing and un-pausing 'accidently'
-'trip' over the their controller wire to pull it out the socket
-not hearing when the ask to stop for a bit.
-yawning sarcastically when fighting each other
-humming tuneless songs.

7) During the Pringles break where your opponent nips out to the kitchen for more snackfoods, enter that code you noted down earlier just for this occaision.
6) Someone got all the top scores in your Gran Turismo rankings? Wipe the game from the memory card and post some new ones.
5) Make your opponent sit in an uncomfortable place when they come round to play, every distraction works in your favour.
4) Spike their tea, coffee, coke with vodka.

The DeLorean lost it's coolness when the problems started regarding the airfilter getting choked up on cocaine all the time.

Clearly, the A-Team van rocked.

The A-team van is was 1983 G-series (probably G-15) customised by Universal Studios Prop Dept. The engine was a 350 cid with minor modifications done mainly the carburettor and exhaust system. The wheels are turbine style 15" painted black with red accents with P235/65 15-front and P 275/65 15-rear.

The main color is semi-gloss black-bottom, semi-gloss dark gun metal grey metal flake top with red striping. Other mod's include: quad head-light conversion, full front brushbar, fog/driving lights, exterior sun visor, quad square exhaust tips (each side in front of rear wheels), and custom made rear wing. Interior was custom-white naugahide bucket seats, shag carpet, and custom gun case in the back (Guns were Ruger Mini 14 stainless steel ranch model with side eject and paratrooper folding stocks-two were modified for full automatic. In some episode's they also used the M16.)

If you look carefully you can see 3M grip tape all over the roof for scene's where stuntmen jumped onto it. The van also had beefy shocks-air shocks in the rear to improve handling. Scene's where the van burns out were done by spraying bleach in front of and onto the rear tires which creates billowing grey smoke and helps it to spin the tires (it wasn't that powerfull, acheiving burnouts on pavement were difficult without help). The wheels are American Racing 14 spokes (Available at swap meets dirt cheap,) painted red to go with the stripe. Tires were 60 series BF Goodrich T/A radials. Rims were rumoured to be 15x7 or 15x8, and tires had like 7 or 8 inch wide tread.

The van (one of the 6 used for the show during its run), still sits-rotting on the Universal Back Lot-tires flat, paint faded, for tram tourists to photo. The noticed licence numbers on the van are: 2L83000, S967238 and 2E14859. Rumors have it that the show lost its GMC sponsorship when they removed the GMC name from the van completely during the last season. The rest of the time it was on the left rear door but barely visible as they sprayed a light coat of the black paint over it so it wouldn't stand out so much.

There is also another A-team van that is held at the "Cars of the Stars Museum" in the Lake District, UK, that holds old famous TV/Movies cars. Numerous vans were used in the series (many being wrecked in stunts) but only two were kept in perfect order for close-up shots and these were owned by the producer Stephen J Cannell. The van is one of these two actual vehicles, that the museum purchased in 1992.

There's also a rumor that in one of the episodes the GMC van is Replaced by a Chevy van. You could see it on the logo on the grill.
