Xmas was spent with the in-laws and on the way home, an elderly gentleman decided he wanted my lane without looking. I saw it coming and managed to slam the brakes on. Unfortunately, he still crunched by front wing and pushed me into the kerb.
Now this wasn't a huge issue as the wing needed replacing anyway. On the plus note, the wing and several suspension bushings will also be replaced at no cost to myself
Boxing Day (26th Dec) came and with it came incredible snowfall, for the UK at least. I just could not resist going out for a play. I spent two hours "playing" and driving in the snow and called it a night just happy that I hadn't broken anything or totalled the car.
And then today. Today I was going back to the in-laws (See where this is going?) and I took the same route i've taken several times. I entered a roundabout that cambered to the right and exited onto a dual-carriageway that cambered to the left. One minute I was facing forward, the next I was facing the crash barrier on the left and then suddenly found myself facing the concrete wall on the right, then the left again, and the right again and then suddenly found myself facing on coming traffic having stopped two inches from the concrete wall.
Thankfully, I managed to keep the car out of either barrier/wall although it was probably more luck than skill!
Hopefully, progress will be made in the coming weeks and MAYBE, just maybe, we'll see my splits hit the car and my chassis come closer to the floor!
