I think there was a crash on the N4 off ramp. It was bad alright if you were heading that way..... Thank goodness I was heaing to the airport!

Drove past it on the northbound side

Traffic was fine in my direction!

coming from Swords, Ballymun road was closed due to an oil spill/accident, all the traffic appeared to have migrated to the N1

Well i'm just counting the time till I can go home. Im in agony all day, woke up and my back was in spasm. So, perhaps it is envy on my part!!

(It is days like today I am glad of the autobox, driving home in a manual would have been torture. Think I am getting old!!)

Autosport

Was parked in a service station and saw a few Astra's and them saw the owners going to their cars and realised I drive an old persons car, they were all in their 70's 80's

At least they have good taste in cars

Having already ruined my back at the ripe old age of 22 I can personally say, driving a manual with any sort of back pain/injury is the male equivalent of child birth :pac: I had to drive myself to hospital once after tearing a muscle in my back, longest half hour of my life

Damn straight!

I had to drive home after twisting my left ankle once. Tried right foot clutching and failed, after that I spent most of my time in 2nd.
Only time I've wanted an auto.

YbFocus

Once crashed my motocross bike into a bridge, broke my wrist, peeled most of the skin off my right hand, blood coming from everywhere!
Had to walk three miles to my house where I'd left my phone because I was always afraid of loosing it. Longest hours walk ever

Just before I hit the ground (I cleared the guts of 20ft) I remembered thinking god this is going to hurt bad

I drove from limerick to nenagh with a broken back......I win:D

No problem with the gearbox, I just kept having to stop because I couldnt breathe. I parked my car, trailer and mangled quad outside a&e and hobbled in in my filthy motocross gear, you should have seen the look on their faces:pac:

I lifted a car off a friend once

The gear only stops you from getting seriously injured

Edit: I had all my gear on and I crushed a vertebrae, imagine if I hadnt...........

Amazing what you can do when you have to! I picked up william's quad and threw it away when he rolled it over on top of himself into the river.

Yeah.........when I say "lifted" I mean robbed :P

Thankfully I've never had a situation where I had to lift a car off someone.
