Yes, he clearly represents everything that's wrong with chav culture, crashing on his way back from an A-Level....

Felt sorry for him.
Well educated, but not in the ways of the world.

Yes...

He said "and I think I wrote my car off"

Ya think!

Somehow I can't help thinking that the old guy with the Range Rover was unable to get back up the garden so locked his car up afterwards with the spare key just to get assistance.

PH Driving God mode = on

BMW on semi slicks would have through that drift, clearly they don't know how to drive and find grip.

PH Driving God mode = off.

Not a nice place to be and probably nearish zero so the white stuff was melting when grit applied. What that road would be like in minus 15C and sheet ice doesn't bear thinking about.

Obviously the "nobody needs winter tyres" Blagden amateur trollists from Essex could teach them a thing or two .....not.

Enjoyed that, I must say. Proper committment from the chaps in the Highlands.

Bloody hell he nearly ran him over!!

[Laurel Green]

It was OK as he had his hi-viz and toe-protector boots on.

Blimey! How did he manage to spot that car.

Yup. Local authorities used to have a few 4WD Transits, as did our armed forces.

Don't they usually have a higher ride height?

I must admit I was surprised they are 4x4.

Yes they do, at least the older Transits are usually easy to spot due to the increased ride height. I wasn't looking at the ride height to be honest but, did notice the girls transit seemed to be riding rather high considering the amount of gear they carry. Mind, think she was in the Bournmouth area so would not have thought it necessary down that way?

ETA: Didn't see the above post so perhaps the newer ones are less obvious.

It gets proper wild in the south. Sometimes we have drizzle.

There you go then.
Looks like a AWD system rather than permanent 4x4.
