snow driving

[silverstreak]

whos been brave enough to go out in the osf then

[wigglychief]

I went out in the mk5 yesterday! Was fun on the back roads Even funnier when i gently slide sideways round a corner past a man standing next to his 57 plate volvo firmly wedged in the ditch. He's probably got ABS and traction control and i just have pinto power to the back wheels!

I went out thursday night, found a nice quiet car park to have a play in

 

Then my mates turned up, then got joined by a random passer-by with a 3 series BMW who decided to join in

 

Then friday morning i went out round my estate while everyone was at work, empty roads, no people

 

Proper sideways with little effort Got the local garage workers looking a few times as i come past sideways

Ive been out everyday,had great fun doing doughnuts an drifting on the works carpark friday lunchtime

Went back saturday morning an ended up clouting a cerb trying to avoid me mate in his bloody corsa

Turned out I bent the halfshaft Quick trip to GS Escorts for a new one and an hours work later, I was back out there showing the FWD boys how its done

I got nothing on the road to go out in, the estate i just bought was supposed to be Mot'd last week, but i cancelled it cos work came in

 

Im going to try to get it booked in tomorrow

[Savvi]

My van is my daily ......... too much stuff to fall off the shelving, i did take a customers Cooper S out on friday for a test drive, which was ok, but you cant beat a mk1 escort in the snow.

We haven't had any appreciable amount of snow down here but if we do, mine will be staying indoors. Far too great a risk of ending up wrapped around a lamp post for me.

 

No snow involved but I genuinely winced when I saw these on another forum

Saw that on Retards Club yesterday, think the build page is on here somewhere

 

Halfshaft broke? or did the back wheel come off when it hit the curb?

Well every time i go out in this van it ends in tears and today was no different. Me and the mrs are ok though. I think i hit a patch of oil on the roundabout . I'm so gutted!

 

He goes on to say that the halfshaft snapped, when he hit the kerb I assume.

[SebringRS]

Proper gutting

[Skimmer]

Unreal especially with all the work/mods he has done to the van a real shame
