I managed about 1 1/2 miles and that took about 30 minutes or something like that. I've left my car in a pub car park and walked back (shame they were closed
)
A bit of snow and the country comes to a halt

I don't fancy driving anywhere today for fear of losing control or fear of others not being careful smashing into me. If I get my car out though there is no way in hell it will go back in though because of the incline

just finding my feet
well i had a little bump today,, fucking anoyed about it aswell
took the missus to work due to no busses, on the way back im sideways like a fucker, proper having fun as theres nobody about
then comes 10am when its parking restriction time at work, i take car to end of the road, i move over to allow some prick in a transit whos in the middle of the road to go past,, NOW i know why hes in the middle, car slide forward, fuck all i could do, was in 3rd gear, turn off ignition,, no point come to a stop at a lampost
cars fucked pmsl, fucking anoying tbh as it turns out wardens aint even working today
im pissed cause if it went sideways i could have got it round the corner, instead it just went forward and a magnetic lampost was there to soften the blow
GOOD thing i done was turn off the igniton as the radiator pushed the rad fan into the cambelt cover, smashing it and wedging the fan in there proper tight,, good also i never had a tow rope in the car as i was gonna tie the car to the lampost and reverse it to pull the panel out,, instead i had to bend it all out and thats when i noticed the cam belt cover
turned engine over a few times and the engine is fine though, the car, well my little one was in tears !!!!
