Had the same sort of weather here the other day - back end was snaking about all over the place and only doing 15 to 20 mph. Local council can't be bothered gritting villages and back roads. Certainly makes you grip the seat with your backside when it happens.
It's times like this when I wish the Vitara was on the road (needs a few things doing to it, currently SORN). |

Sorry to hear about you mishap Eamo, alot of folk have been in the same boat as you, not a great way to start the year. All you can do is dust yourself of and get looking for a suitable replacement I bet you will have one very quick

Thats terrible Eamo. Do you think the insurance will write it off or has a
garage told you it's too bad? Pity to lose such a car in that way. At least you're okay. Could have been worse though. Passed a nice new car on it's roof in someones garden just up the road from me on Sunday. Black ice everywhere. |

Sorry to hear for your troubles. 6500 thats a bit expensive. Thats what mine cost for the whole front end to be rebuilt in 2006 after my little trip down a hill. |
