Focus handles just like a Golf...

The Focus is obviously more robust though!

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

Cue the picture of the smashed-up R32.

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.

I've seen this doing the rounds on ttbook. Anyone know which force it belongs to?

Googling the phone number on the side suggests Wiltshire Police.

Crashes just like a Golf.

Lets just wait for a Police spokesperson to say "It was the black ice"

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.

How did that happen?

[Six Fiend]

It fell over

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

Spilt diesel.

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?
