The Focus is obviously more robust though!

That looks a very steep downhill - I hope they secured the Focus before working below it.

Shouldn't that photo be in the 'bad parking' thread?

Not a bad advert for the Focus' engineering though. A few years ago they'd have been squished jam.

My first thought also - wouldn't want to be down hill of 1300kgs of metal sitting on ice.

Googling the phone number on the side suggests Wiltshire Police.

Expert police drivers never make mistakes and analyse/react to the driving conditions faster than any "normal" driver but on this occasion the ice snuck up on the driver and flipped his car before he could do anything.

Once of my colleagues rolled a Mk1 Focus and walked away with bruises.

That is the hill by The Pear Tree between Purton and Lidyard Millicent.

Had to reverse back down that the other night, the Saab wouldn't go up it.

I think I've seen that photo before, though, is it from last year?
