Almost needing a new Clio Renault Sport!!!

[Ralphizzle]

Last night snowfall started again in certain parts of Holland.

Next morning piccies of my close call.:

Being angled (mini wallride) saved my passenger side from a lot of mishap. Obviously the front rim, outer lip is pretty bad scuffed from riding the curb. OZ F1 spokes ate some dirt. :dead:

 

[SC03OTT]

Ooft. New pants time.

 

[Hutchie]

good effort

 

[Ralphizzle]

Not a lotta' grip from ze taaarjs!

I just went straight, felt like a broken steering rack @ the time.

Feck... feck... FEEEECK! ! !

 

[iimushroomzii]

Fcuk me thats close! Lol!

 

[cly]

seesh that is lucky

 

[Fletcher]

You were lucky mate!

 

[Ralphizzle]

I guess so... what if it's wasn't banked?
When veering off: counted one sign, a tree, a BIG bush, another tree... another sign!!!
Ohw my gawd!!!

Was driving to a 20th anniversary party, i never loosened up after arrival!

 

[DannoTheGreat]

oooh!

 

[Marky_]

Nice escape

But then @ 02:15 a.m. on my way home.: :S

The leftside decided to understeer like a pig.
Went through the bald hedge, lined with tree poles and running a iron wire.
Spotted the barktree to hit and a nice little downhill bank to roll off...

But luckily stopped and turned right on the soft banking.
Reversing out of it after some dire minutes. :dead:

Hitting the treepole straight on, only some minor dent/folding of the reg. plate.
Some obvious scratches from the wire, which can be polished out.

No visable marks or misaligned front bumper.

Went back this morning, hedge with poles is part of a 'pancake restaurant'; to inform the owner of my little accident.

No harm done or bushes to pay for!
Chat ends with... it's quite a tricky corner eh, your not the first one!

 

[DannoTheGreat]

s**t, you're unlucky as hell!

 

[Ralphizzle]

Or 'lucky' depends how you see it...

Never experienced that much low grip in turns on snow as this saturday evening/night!
Just pottering along, engine braking, gentle steering input.

 

[Fletcher]

I'd get some snow chains fitted

I need a Toyota Hilux with studded tires!
Can i borrow yours? :lolup:

Danno this part was uphill also, minor gradient.

I guess packed snow has more grip then a road covered with fresh fallen snow (± 2cm thickness).

 

[Perry]

Did the door mirror survive? Must have been close

 

[Leeshez]

That was close.

[jdh91]
