Is a bad idea, especially when its snowing and the aforementined snowplough is clearing the as yet uncleared and ungritted road.

A fact that eluded the driver of the car that on overtaking the snowplough then proceeded to loose control and spin 180 to end up going tail first into the nose of my TVR writing off the 2nd bonnet in 6 months.

Fing Fety fk

I was making steady, but slippy progress up a slight gradient in 2nd gear and had the time to come to a halt and start reversing out of the way of the homicidally pirouetting Peugeot, but not fast enough to get out of its way.



On the positive side, there might be some cute nurses at A&E where I think I ought to head to tomorrow to see if my head is about to fall off. Can't work out if I am about to get whiplash or merely a hangover from the bottle of Pierre Vaudon I am currently dispatching.

Think the next bonnet needs a set of roo bars on it..
