ViperVere Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 9am Going to work on a little bit of snow. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23625.jpg I realised I wasnt going to stop at the sign.... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23626.jpg So after all last ditch attempts to stop ie. handbrake, reverse gear, steering towards hedge this happened! http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23622.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23623.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23624.jpg Very Lucky in the way of damage considering there was a stone wall the other side. http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23627.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23628.jpg The hill the day after and the flower box that was underneath the car http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23629.jpg http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23630.jpg Well what more can I say but.......

stevmo3691 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 buff out with t-cut snow actually proved useful for us when trying to sell a car as people needed replacement cars. how we sold vectra last year and dads car this year.luckily for me i avoided these accidents as my dad taught me to drive in them from when he rallied.otherwise my car would be cube shaped by now and not from being crushed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andaba Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Snow in Barnstaple? Can't have been too recent!! Have you managed to fix her up yet? I picked my BMW up from near Bideford about a month ago now, some lovely roads around there, and apparently some lethal ones!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked my BMW up from near Bideford about a month ago now, some lovely roads around there, and apparently some lethal ones!! Yeah this was february, and I live on Exmoor, so Snow + Exmoor = Bad Idea to Drive lol! All Ive done so far is use it as an excuse to get M3 mirrors. the whole car needs striping back and de rusting so I have done the body work yet....

sidrick Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 This might be a daft question, but were you taking pictures as you were sliding down the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hopefully you'll drive according to the road conditions in future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottg17 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 My guess, Lack of knowledge of driving in the snow, use your gears and only minimal brakes if absolutely needed, the road there did not look that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
