Alan and I where out playing with the cars today (we'd to rescue my Aunt who's Suzuki Alto broke down.. God, I'd to jump start it and then drive it home, like it's yellow and really really GAY!
) Anyway, after that we'd the 500 and Splutter out and Alan and I were having fun whizzing up and down the little country lanes...
Well, we turned off that one onto a much narrower road and just as we came round a corner there was a land rover coming the other way towing a big bit of farm machinery that stuck out much further than the side of the land rover on to our side of the road. Well the 500 did what it was supposed to do and the ABS fired, the Hazards came on and Alan did a great job of coming to an abrupt stop and avoiding messing up the 500's white paint with some green John Deer! Unfortunately he forgot all about me and Splutter behind that were approaching behind.....
So there was that moment were splutters peddle went straight to the floor cause of his dodgy master cylinder! A few pumps more and the pressure built up just in time of me to lock the wheels and put Splutter into a skid that put me on a collision course with the back end of the 500!
Thankfully there was big grass verge to the left of the 500 and thank god for all the extra clearance they designed under Splutter (Even more so since I popped on the alloys with the 155/70 x 13's) so with a bit of flaffing about I managed to get splutter to change trajectory towards the grass and, with much to Alan's surprise Splutter and I shot past him half on top of the hedge!
Anyway, Splutter got back on the road again and we headed home and I've opened the wine to soothe the nerves, lol!
Poor Splutter!
