Was on our way to barnstable from teignmouth,I wasnt driving(probably would have been worse if I was.lol),long sweeping right hander and nearly a 360,oops




Had to go back for my food



That sign means Clearway NO STOPPING

The good news is were both ok and the van is...............well a little bit smokey They did more damage trying to get it back on its wheels.

 

glad your all ok

nice pics

 

Atleast you both was ok


Brian

 

 

Nice driving

 

Least you both ok thats all that matters but nice bit of parking

 

Get some coilovers for the van

 

 

Urm yes officer,we were coming round the corner and all of a sudden the back end stepped away it was hanging out for fooking ages until it spun in 3rd gear

 

haha, sorry that just seems strangely funny! it wudnt be funny if u had be hurt tho obviously!

 

 

always better to do it in a works vehicle glad your ok

 

 

wicked

see, thats the danger of open diffs, if your hanging it and one wheel suddenly regains traction it snaps you back and you crash

youdve been fine with a 2way do Cusco do em for Sprinters?

 

Good pics, funny too seeing as you're all ok!



Si

 

you are ok thats the main thing

 

nearly done that on a fork lift proper shit myself as i would have lost my leg.

 

any pics of the damaged side?

 

Funny thing is theres a switch on the dash to lock the diff,should have pushed it half way round for my driver who was'nt doing his job properly,ah well should get a new van now,might ask for cusoco's and a cage,2 way diff and some 10" wides

Was amazed how soft the landing was,my mate was'nt cause I was on him,should have seen me trying to get out with my bag and stuff standing all over him and snapping the indicator stalk ,fucking doors are well heavy when the vans on its side

Think i'll drive tomorrow

 

Oh look! a sprinter in it normal state! Laying down on the job!

Glad your ok though

 

white van man need i say more


Glad you are alright

Just slight understeer into major oversteer abit too much weight in the back and 1000 profile tyres it just dug in a flipped us over

I'll get the pics of the damaged side at work tomorrow,its not bad at all really.

 

Wheres the "HOWS MY DRIVING CALL 0800 ........"

off the back door


Glad ur ok tho mate

10 outa 10 for effort tho

 

 

Pmsl @ "little accident...."

 

I guess he had it lit ???

 

scandinavian flick

more of a bean flick

 

I flipped a beford sooty van once, luckily for me i just got out put it back on its wheels and drove back Little bit of a size difference though.

 

Iy was'nt at its lightest today so we did'nt even try,I thought about it but realised how much lead was really in there plus all the tools,must have been on the weight limit today.

 

 

Where abouts were you? I live in Starcross (near to Teignmouth) and I know the link road quite well. I cant quite place it!

Good effort though!!

How long did it drag along the floor before it went back up on its wheels

 

 

Go from teignmouth towards ashcombe/exeter take a left at the rounderbout go over dualcarrageway round right hander and land on the roof before entering the dual its probably the second juction before the speed camera thats never in.

you can see where it started all our stuff fell out the window then they dragged it down the road

made front page today fuckin paps cant get nothin right,said my colleuge helped me out the cab,I got out first ,petrol and oil spilt on road,its a diesel

 

Good effort 10 out of 10 for it,

nice to see the newspapers get it right again

 

good work!!!

the lad at work managed to roll a brand new hire sprinter on the motorway it had less than 1k miles on the clock pmsl and needed to have a couple of months off work to recover from stress (wimp )


did the driver get any hastle from the police ?

im suprised they not trying to have the drivers pants down with the van ending up like that

 

The copper was sound,he could see that we wer'nt going fast and the roads were greasy someone else did the same thing last week same place

 

the police arent usually bothered about such things unless someones actually hurt ,ive also rolled a bedford rascal van as Nash above ,fortunately though it was possible for us to roll it back on its wheels as they are so small.the only damage noticable was a broken wing mirror

 

Thats about the same damage we had,untill recovery dragged it down the road on its side
