No dont worry i havnt crashed it... took me 2hrs to get home.
25mins from office to village where i live.. 1 1/2hrs to go 700yards !!!
car just didnt have any grip at all, had to get towels, rugs etc from home walk back down to the car to put them under the wheels.. take off in 2nd and was able to move another 5ft
ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
needless to say the car is now stuck but its as far off the road as possible so "shouldnt" get hit by anything

I got stuck in a car park the other day it was easier to push it out using man power than horsepower

People around have just abandoned their cars and left, cars everywhere. Cars slipping everywhere.

same here needed 5 big blokes to push me out. i was just going sideways
not so much trouble driving on normal roads though, low down torque seems to work rather well indeed.

yea i agree, the girlfriend left the corsa in reading and caught the train back to frimley where she lives, think it took her about 3 hours to 700 yards...i know what i will be doing tomorrow
i tried to go to work this evening, but end up stuck in the pub car park and not work 
plus a mate of mine left his van at mine cause it was quicker to walk the half a mile home than drive
