The new boiler scrapage scheme seems to only be for people with working boilers :bang::bang:
Tell her get a taxi then
I wouldn't trust a taxi to take her in good driving conditions, let alone in these adverse conditions.
The point is, I'd like her to get to work ALIVE
Had an incident in the Stilo resulting in the borrowing of a friends fiesta :bang:
tell us more!
Video? Hope you and the still are okay, the snow is a killer today.
Nothing major. Just a buggared tyre and rim :bang:
Happened to be the new tyre that I got this morning and only done 80miles on. Bonus being though iirc its covered by a accidental damage warrentee, and having done only 80miles, they'll cover 100% of cost of replacement. So just had to dig spare rim out of garage at home.
Incident happened 35-40miles away from home, and being LPG, no spare, so had to borrow a friends car for the night once I dropped him off home.
Very poor indeed but at least it's cheap....and they called me nuts for insisting I could get to my spare easily for when getting my ice done.
Is the suspension ok? Time for a tracking check perhaps assuming you hit a kerb or summat.

Whats cheap?
Yeah axel looks ok. Was fairlylow speed, and not gonna lie, I was pissing about in the snow
Drove ok for a few miles back to base, but didn't want to run 35-40 miles on it how it was.
Funny enough had tracking checked this morning and it was spot on. Just hope the tyre is covered by the accidental warrentee. The same as the last Avon tyre I got and that was covered and I got a leaflet with that one.
Said tyre
Main damage is where the rim edge has been pushed in.
Getting it replaced under accidental warranty!
Ar$ing about eesh you'd never catch me doing such a thing in a local car park...using the turning switch...never! :nono:
lol.
Yeah, accidental damage warrentee rather, missed the damage bit out. and TBH I'd class that as accidental damage
Used to laugh at the radio ad's they used to run about the tyre place and their tyre warrentee. Voice over went 'I just got some new tyres, week later hit a curb, burst one, and they changed it for free!'
Always used to think 'what sort of a tit would hit a curb?'
I remeber doing a Panda rim on a curb also, sticking out curb, about 25-30mph. God the tyre was a slight mess
But car lived with no damage
Wuss....I drove over a traffic calming island....no damage somehow at all, gawd bless that 55s it was made out of the same stuff as starbug and childrens dolls.

You drive a car with no spare tyre? :nutter:
LPG tank or spare tyre Hmmmm, seeings as the car is LPG fuelled I'll go for the LPG tank
LPG tank or spare tyre Hmmmm, seeings as the car is LPG fuelled I'll go for the LPG tank
Thats no reason, every LPG or dual fuel car I have seen has a spare tyre.
Can't sleep and its bugging me cause I wanna get up early and play in the snowww
F**ktards that drive like muppets in the snow! nearly destroyed a mondeo several times on my way to work :bang:
Duel cariegway (40 limit) I am heading down about 25 and he tried to pull round - his car hits the snow in the right hand lane and almost stops he then tried to over take on a roundabout he slammed on his anchors and pulled right in front of me as the 2nd lane suprise suprise was blocked with snow! I gave him main beam for a second or two and sounded horn for about 100yrds! then at the next roundabout he couldn't decide which lane to use and cut me up twice within 20 yards.
Thing that annoys me the most is if he'd cleared all his windows not just the drivers side of the windscreen he'd of stood a chance of seeing what he was doing.

Ive been overtaking in the snow in the right hand lanes. If people kept using them then they would be clear.
