Yesterday evening on my way home from my chicks house my mum rang to say that the hill leading to our house was really bad, heavy snow n mayb ice, so clever me i tried to make it up the hill instead of leaving the corsa at the bottom n gettin my cd player pinched!! so after numerous attempts at gettin up the hill, i walked up to get my dad, who brought sum salt n a shovel, anyway long story short i ended up blowing the radiator pipe off or something like that (not really sure coz it was dark) and loads of steam engulfed the car and surrounding area and a river of coolant ran down the street.....Gutted!!! Sorry about the essay.

Was one of them idiots that pull out then do 50 yards then stop to turn off again!
Was in the 4x4 which hates snow and ice and roads were really bad
went into a skid but somehow managed to correct and stop just before i hit

Used an entire tank of fuel in one of my MK II Cavaliers in one night a few years back doing some Scandinavian style action after dark with three mates and a Chevette also.
Had 120 on the clock at about 30 mph on several occassions and the only casualties of the night's activities were my ariel, one of my front indicators, my front tyres and one of my rear wheels.
Top fun.
