Hope your feeling better soon I agree with Tony, Cars can be replaced but a person cannot Take Care on the roads all just watch out for other drivers to, some may not be as careful as others. |
Rich, Glad to hear your OK:)
Sounds like a nasty one. I shall take even more care in these conditions now! and so should we all!!! Iain. |
..echo your sentiments ...be carefull..
this side of studded tyres,ALL cars are useless on black ice(or any smooth ice for that matter) Try to get all of your braking done before you steerif theres an increased risk of ice and where appropriate and safe at loww speed cut cornars to the max. to give you extra room if it goes pear shaped. |
Coming round a corner where there is usually a natural spring that runs along the verge only to find a 100m long patch of ice certainly focuses the mind! :eek: I'd have shat meself on a push bike, but I was in my M5, which made it even more interesting! LOL
Apparently 400 bhp and RWD can be a little tricky in these conditions! ;) Just take care out there and drive accordingly. Also, try not to get too frustrated with the prat who inevitably sits 1m off your rear bumper! :rolleyes: Matt |
Glad he is ok! this icy weather is really nasty! i have a 2wd saff cosworth i just entered a national speed limit in 2nd changed to 3rd and i was sideways at 60mph! talk about missing a heart beat! the roads are soooo icey please be careful before its to late....

F**KING HELL!
Glad you're still with us though Rich. I've known Rich for nigh on 18 years and I don't wanna lose him now. Edited cos I can't spell. [Edited by teknohippy.com - 1/8/2003 1:24:38 PM] |
Wow,
Like I said earlier just glad your ok. Ian |
My God, so sorry guys. :(
If there's owt I can do. |
:eek: I know you told me it was bad but I didn't think it was that bad :eek: you were lucky to get away without injury.

Glad your hubbys ok, AWD is great while tyou have grip, but once it goes on ice it all goes. Last year was out in the snow with my 3 year old (so driving with extreme care) started to go down a hill towards a T junction so doing about 10-15mph in second from well back. All of a sudden the car starts accelerating down the hill with wheels still turning. Hit brakes ABS so like free wheeling. Luckilly started to slide towards the kerb so pulled on handbrake and hit the kerb side on with wheel (which buckled)about 6 feet short of oncomming traffic in both directions, jugernaught comming one way transit the other!! Guess we were very lucky.

I have to say I cringed mightily when I saw the pics - glad you walked away from that one.
It has just started snowing here so I think I'll leave the RWD monster at home . . . . ! Now get your ass back to work! |
I looked at the first 2 photos and thought "oh, it wasn't that bad"...then the others loaded!! :eek:
Feckin' hell, Rich - I'm so glad that you are ok! |
my RWD non traction control equipped Honda S2000 is staying in the garage for the time being
|
Fecking hell guys!!
Cant believe how bad that is. Just as long as you two are ok....thats the main thing??? |
Likewise Anna and Rich... :eek: :( Take care of them Gossy & MJ!
Here in Munich, we get many inches of snow every year (so I'm told - first winter here). For the last couple of days, we've had about an inch or two a day, and the temperatures have hit around -8C each night. Therefore, each day, the sound of rrrrmmmmrrrRRRRMMMMM (slide slide slide) of every BMW older than 3 years old, going sideways at each junction :( But on pure ice with 4wd it's a disaster - no wheels point the right direction when they're spinning :eek:! Take care both Richard |
Anna, very sorry to hear that, give Rich our regards ! Thank god it was just the Scoob and not him !!!!!
Kate |
Jesus rich, I was thinking the same thing till the last few loaded. You're lucky to get through that with all your bits intact! :eek:
Glad your OK and stuff, remember its just a car and thats what insurance is for. What matters is that you're intact. *removes ECU from 3-door to avoid temptation to drive it* astraboy. |
:eek:
Take it easy and see you soon. Mark |
Fookin hell! :eek:
Glad you're OK Rich! That looks nasty! :eek: Shame about the car, but at least nobody was hurt :eek: That's the main thing. |
:eek:youch:eek:
Glad you're OK:) Just heard on the radio a 22 year old man was killed in an accident locally:( Police have asked for witnesses and want to know how he was driving before the accident, ffs, he's died what does it matter... you can't cream any money out of him now[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I bet it would be different if he'd been 50ish. It was feckin slippy here last night, it didn't look like the gritters had been out either:eek: |
