pezza_no1 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Wow what a morning I had today! Long story short brother woke me by calling at 6am saying the Pug 406 had broken down coming bk to devizes. Got up and out and was one of the 1st cars on the snow with no other cars around = ALOT of fun Went to go up the dual carriageway out of devizes towards Swindon and on my side were 2 lorries not being able to get up the hill but on the other side coming down the hill was a tanker artic lorry thingy which had totally jack-knifed leaving the trailer at a near perfect 90 degree angle to the road so blocking the cboth lanes his side and over the central reservation. Good old scooby went straight up and over no problems. Found brother only to see a van and a car parked up in front of him.... The car had slowed down to pass my brother and the van never! How the hell the car missed my brother's car after being whacked from behind by the van fook knows. Managed to get brothers car off the road and into a farm entrance, found fan belt snapped so back to devizes we went to pug garage. VERY nearly got stuck on the central reservation coming back into town as obviously had to cross over due to the jack-knifed artic! Got fan belt went back to the car but couldn't figure out how it should go, so back to pug garage to get drawing, again nearly beaching myself on the central reservation. Went to go back up and long line of cars sat at the bottom.... Didn't have time to sit and wait for someone to do something so out into the un-used outside lane and up over the dual carriageway, once again no probalem for the scooby at all. Done fan belt then off to work I went. Tell ya the scooby was AMAZING! My brother now wants a 4 wheel drive car.... I shall convert him to a scooby owner yet Oh and my brother had just tried to get to work but made it as far as Marlborough only to find a lorry had jack-knifed in the middle of the town so headed back.... Good job to or else he'd been miles away when the belt snapped and not just 3 miles outta devizes!
Guest sti3_lewak Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 3 hours for me at 4am from farnborough to radstock, lots of snow!! and a lot of drifting.If you were going the same way as me we could have had a drifting comp down the A303 Was going to but decided it would be more fun on the back roads over Salisbury plain....
stinger Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Evening All Im off work this week and last week. Went a few miles this morning in the Micra .... no i wasnt taking the scoob out after washing it yesterday. Still managed to scare one of my neighbours handbraking the micra about in the road teehee
