Snow way to park

Posted in Personal on 5th February 2009

Lesson learnt? I don’t think so…

So if you haven’t noticed, we’ve been getting a fair bit of snow recently. Today it was about a foot deep. I eventually got on the roads.

Was fine until I got there. Then things got a little slippy.

snow bad parking

I came off of the roundabout that leads to work and my back-end kept going. I came off the road and right into a hedge. Whoops.

So I leave it, head to the office for help. Something like “yeah my parking’s a bit improv”. We got her out. She hadn’t suffered too badly, a little damage under the bumper. I’m amazed I didn’t take anyone out (I’m parked on the pavement).

Harborough wasn’t too bad on Monday, but Leicester was. Today it’s the opposite. Driving like this after only passing 6 months ago ain’t fun. Ah well!

This was my car before the journey

    D’you know, I was just going to sit down and write a post about how the roads seem to be full of complete numpties how don’t know how to handle a bit of frost (‘cos dude, this still *so* isn’t proper snow), when me and my little weighs-nothing, rear-wheel-drive, no-such-thing-as-low-revszero-traction-mobile have been just *fine*… but I think I’ll just link to this instead ;-) Glad you’re all safe and no harm done, look on the bright side, you’ll be dining out on this for many winters to come…
