Thats ok then. I feel happier now. Don't mind washing vans as long as they are small. i.e. corgi models.
Washing the amica would be like washing a corgi toy. One bucket of water would do. What colour is it so that we can wave if you are spotted.

Sorry

Took a bend a bit too fast and hit a bump I think, did a 180 at least and went right up an embankment, just missing a lampost in the process. Can't believe I did something so bloody stupid now.

Hopefully it just needs two new tyres..

180 degrees, is that all !!! Now imagine what you could have done with a turbo under there

Anyway, at least your ok and the car has only minor scars.. now keep the bloody thing on the road where it's meant to be.

Stay away from the roads in Tyldesley please until you pass your test.
Did a similar thing in a sierra estate a few years ago but managed about 270 degrees. Good fun after the event when your body is still intact, although I don't want to make a habit of it.

Happened just off the A6. Watergate Lane nr Little Hulton.

If you pass, check out the tyre marks going up the embankment and notice how they go round the back of the lampost. A mate turned up to help and took a picture of me stood in the track I left, I'll post it if he gets it to me..

Andy, just seen you in Tyldesley, finally see you in your car and I'm not in mine

You let me out as I came from Tyldesley Tyres.

I have a doblo so thats a medium van really, the amica is standard really i bought some wheel trims for it but couldnt put them on as theres a bolt that goes through the centre of the trim thats on that fixes the wheel in place so they are in the bottom of my wardrobe
its metallic blue on a X reg hardly take it out mainly in my van but if you spot me it looks like this so just give me a wave

Took a corvette on in Liverpool a few months ago. Was in front upto 70ish then he dissapeared. Unfortunately it was me in his rear view mirror. Didn't try to keep up for 2 reasons:- didn't stand a chance and it was in a 40 zone.
Just happy to stay in front so long.

Just had a break from typing as the dogs went ballistic at 2 blokes near the scoob outside. They have just walked off when I opened the door and let the dogs out onto the front.
Only time the dogs are of any use.
