Be careful on the roads today, lads and gals! I got blown so hard that I ended up on a kerb!

I got 'blown' on a kerb in Kilternan, SoCoDub about 20 years back in a very, very drunken state. The chicks older brother drove past, squealed to a stop, reversed very quickly, ripped me off his sister, put her in the passenger seat, threw me in the back of his van on top of his work tools and drove us home.

Still can't look that man straight in the eye two decades later.

Where be thee? And work or travel?

I thought I had taken a few pics of monster trucks in Canada, but it appears not

And my OH is in disgrace as he "forgot" to fire up the alfa once a week to keep it alive and now the battery is dead

Did you consider getting one of them solar trickle chargers for the Alfa if it's going to be sitting up. Or are you going to be driving it regularly now that your back?

Ummmm..... Yeah about that

Whoever said BMW's are useless in snow and on slippery mountains are complete liars untill it slithered to one side and became beached ontop of a ditch

Then suddenly it dawned on me: I've become the person being rescued by a Fiat and backup Toyota :cool:

Took a hape of people in the boot and a mighty 1.2 to yank the E39 out :P

To say it was a fun event filled evening is an understatement

Mycroft H

Was there a video taken?

I have pics of it beached but I may ask if someone recorded it.... That Punto was whipping as it pulled me out! I couldn't film as I was in the drivers seat

I don't get a video because my fat ass was creating traction.

It was ****ing cold up there, I got out of the car on the way back down to check a tyre but the car was still rolling slightly, the wind almost took me over and it was do slippy that as I clinched to the door, I was dragged a few meters, still standing. Pure ice.

Let's go again tonight. :pac:
