Take care in the snow :(

[Fagan]

Braking towards a snowy empty junction, the abs kicks in and I'm heading for the kerb. Chose a kerbed wheel over a possible burst tyre. So gutted though, no one to blame but myself.

Anyone else on the same boat?

Don't know if the picture will work, using tapatalk.

 

[Curley]

Bad news

 

[domjolly]

Ouch!! I did this last year but some how hit the kerb hard enough to bend one of the bolts holding the break calipers in place and cracking a wheel. Hopefully the weather will be ok over next 3 days as I got alot of driving to do to central London

 

[stacky]

well last yr snow hid massive pot hole of filled complety wrote off my brand new td 1.2 160 down the drain to far buckles u think thats bad

 

[Ben]

I did this last year and bent my lower arm into the brake disc and buckled my alloy :|

why don´t you buy a set of winter tyres? would be cheaper in the long term!

indeed. They should have the same laws over here as the rest of Europe.

 

[marinemackay2003]

would make sense really

save thousands of crashes if not lives

 

[Beef-Mc]

Thats not so bad really, could have been a lot worse.

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Meh you think thats bad, look at my mums Scinic....

 

[VeinAST]

She alright?

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Yeah, she only got a broken finger. cheers

 

[Alastair.]

christ scenic upside down, good thing the newer renaults hold up well in crashes, only thing renault does well in is safety lol

 

[shearzy]

My Clio's been loads of fun 2nite untill i came home! usually takes 5 mins to get from my mates. just took an hour and half and i had to grit the street up to my house! madness!!!

 

[Jason_E]

Ooooft. Women drivers eh! Sorry mate hope your mum's ite x

 

[Fagan]

I know it could have been alot worse, but it's still a fvcking shltter when I paid £200 to get them all powder coated about 500 miles ago. Ouch at the scenic, good to hear your Mum is OK.

 

[Bluebeard]

Firered Stingray, was your mother running some sort of racing slick on the rear tyres??

I thought that, I think it is just the light catching it.

constant 1/2 arm of opposite lock to hold a straight line?

that's an MX-5 running borderline Eagle f1's!

 

[Christopher]

I've never seen a RWD Scenic. Rare beasts.

They were the less-publicised, modern version of the Espace F1.

Had the V10 from Alonso's championship-winning car, needed those slick rears to handle it, 20k revs FTW

 

[twingors]

Yip I'm in the same boat mate. Mine was worse than that though on Saturday. 5-10mph a swear!

I'm going to get mine powder coated instead of painted. Better finish! Will get that done in january a reckon:approve:

Ok mate enjoy!

 

[leeds2592]

I'm in the same boat n'all .

Only a standard dynamique alloy, but still abit pissed off.

 

[Toby]

Anyone beat this?

 

[leeds2592]

Mine

Does look a bit worse on the photo than it actually is due to the flash.

 

[twingors]

Am not far behind you. mine was a cracker lol

 

[Gandi69]

Mines not moving from the garage haha

 

[leeds2592]

Mines not moving from the garage haha

I don't blame you :rasp:

 

[DrR]

I'd have chosen a burst tyre over a kurbed alloy myself.

 

[Kyle.]

Anyone beat this?

 

[Goodj]

the missus took the 172 for a hack down to the inlaws and is now "stuck on a hill"

"Have you tried turning off traction control?"
the what? something keeps flashing at me on the dash and the brakes keep going weird.... and it smells odd!

*Facepalm*

 

[Tigger]

:lolup: I'd cry tbh!

I thought my wheel was bad but I gave the rim a wee scuff in the summer
but then I was staring at something beyond the kerb at the time

 

[Leeshez]

Ouch unlucky .

 

[Fagan]

Why? £100 tyre vs £40 repair. It was late at night, I need my car for work in the mornings, I have no spare wheel.
