  1. i was in 2nd gear as it was, its just living on dartmoor its constantly up and down
  2. the funny thing is the woman in the audi had the same thing happen last year around the same time. 4x4 came round the corner(think it was a mitsi or something), but the chap did not try and put it into the hedge. he hit her side on and wrote her car off. almost glad the rock was there to stop me, as the wheel may have rode up the hedge causing me to tip over. alot more expensive bout to look on ebay.
  3. im gna heat the bar up and bend it back into shape, cant afford a new rod at the mo. just hope there isnt any more damage.
  4. had a bit of an accident earlier today. was driving my aunt into town earlier, down a road that i had already driven an hour before on the way to look for pricked ducks and pheasents. was driving a very sensible speed for the ice that is around. came round the corner at the top of a hill to see a brand new audi half way down the hill stuck up against the hedge due to the ice. at this point i applied brakes, but just slid, tried again and slid again. carried on sliding down towards the audi, with an oldish lady at the wheel with eyes wide open. being 20 i really did not fancy the insurance claim and decided the hedge was a better option. turned in towards the hedge and luckily it actually turned. hit the hedge really quite hard with the bumping taking some of the impact, but sadly my right hand wheel hit a very large lump of granit in the devon bank. we bounced off the rock and the back end spund round leaving us facing the wrong direction. got out to check the damage expecting a mashed front end, but the tubular bumper i invested it was rock solid. but i then noticed my right hand wheel at a 45 degree angle but my left wheel straight. now have a track rod like a banana, but managed to get the truck up the hill with the steering in its current state after alot of grit was applied. dont think ill be driving in the ice any time soon
