cripp

black ice this morning stepped outside back door and slid all the day down my sloped drive still on foot :red:

That must be a hell of a long drive you have.:cool2:

I think the bloke should throw himself out of the window. It's a bit sickening that someone would wait and video a situation he may well have prevented. The "look look here we go" is just chilling. Especially as there may well be serious injurys.

 

Wonder what happened when they got around the corner.

Always best to get the facts.

This is from the person that made the video.

Shocking driving condtions in Paignton on the busiest shopping day of the year. The car is barely moving but the hill makes stopping impossible and both people in the front of the car decide to jump out?????

The couple were warned by neighbours not to venture out that day and they were the only people to attempt to drive on that road. There were numerous pedestrians around who could barely walk on the black ice so a car really stood no chance.

Near the start of the video you can see a recovery truck. This had been stuck there, blocking the road for 3 hours and didn't move for another 2 hours after this incident.

The reason the video ends abruptly is because my wife and I raced downstairs to see if there were any injuries to the couple. Once I made it past the red cars in the right of the frame, it was clear that several people were seeing to the couple around where the car ended up.

Pretty obvious to see why many people are finding this so funny but believe me, not one person who witnessed this was laughing at the time. My wife and I felt physically sick, as did many others. Thankfully, the couple involved didn't suffer any serious injuries. More importantly, no pedestrians or children were hit by the abandoned car.

PLEASE, check your local roads before setting out on a journey. Listen to local radio, speak to neighbours and try to avoid being part of incidents like this.

Merry Xmas all!

 

 

Here's how the car ended up. Lucky.

No one has had a guess at this one yet. It is one of my favourite WW2 films and this was said by Driscoll who was played by Bob Newhart.

 

As a bit more of a clue. Driscoll (if i remember correctly) had got lost in his Jeep and ended up on the front line. The Seargant took the exhaust off the Jeep and made him drive up and down out of view of the Germans to give the impression that they had a tank with them.

Hell is for heroes

Stop sleeping on the job, these ones are still unanswered.

A midnight clear

what are you the f****n weather man now?

 

We were soldiers

Blakeys for a goat. :whistle:

When you find it get in touch with Chuck Lutz and he'll sort you out with all the info.

As Nick said you can get all the info you need from G503. Have you found the ACM number under the left front spring hanger?

Thanks Mark.

Happy days. Only 38, tough innings!:shocking:

Happy birthday old boy! Best get rid of that Jeep - will be getting to old to get into it in a minute......:whistle:

The cheek of it!:box:

I'll be there.

I thought that was Marc's at first. :-D

Looks like a great trip. I'll have to book and join you next time.

Has anybody ever heard of this? The US have had it locked away and have now built a replica. Interesting reading.

And here are the girls.

 

The owner of the two Tillys is now checking his bonnet as he had hoped that it was the lightest one sitting on it.

:nono: :rofl::rofl:

:pfrt: :pfrt:

We're not all as old as you. :-D

Some good feedback thanks.

 

 

Presumably Tony is old school with no website?

 

 

Colt

Correct, he doesn't go in for all that modern stuff. He doesn't even advertize.

Another Vote for Tony Sudds here, but you'll have to look elsewhere soon as he's selling up. So like others have said, fing the closest to you.

I didn't have a licence and didn't get asked.

Good show. I'm not camping by the road again though. :argh:

Anybody got a picture of our "old scrap"?

I'll be arriving sometime tomorrow, probably midday'ish.

Looks good. See you tomorrow.

Went along to this show at the weekend at Daymns hall, it was a relly good show. Nice and relaxed, friendly atmosphere and great weather. Plenty of vehicles and displays. I'll definately be going next year.

The display this spit put on Saturday and Sunday was excellent. I don't think he wanted to stop.

More pictures here

Should be there Friday afternoon.
