Typical trucker..... (Corsa damage)

Scania · 30 Oct 2008 at 12:35

Whilst watching the video to this news story :eek:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/7699112.stm at 0:47 you see an Iveco 12 tonner passing a Corsa abandoned in flood water (perhaps, just an abandoned corsa?

) anyway, listen carefully, I'm sure he takes the mirror off it as he passes...... Later in the video you see Police passing the car the other way, I don't think the truck had passed by then..... ?

Raised a smile in an otherwise sad video.

Don't think he does because at the end of the video you see the other side of the corsa as the pickup drives past and it still has the mirror attached, unless it wasn't shot in that order...

Whats all that white stuff? Looks like huge blocks of ice?!

Frozen flood water / debris ?

Weather nice in your neck of the Woods Fox?

Hmm, I'd say there was plenty of space between the car and the truck.

Just normal rain really, hence my suprise that not 60 miles up the road there is ice the size of cars!

Run away.....

If you chip away at the ice blocks you will find corsa's, god must really hate us

Malt_Vinegar · 30 Oct 2008 at 12:53

I think its rear wheels "bow" wave hitting the corsa bumper that makes the noise that makes it seem like it hit it.

It could have easily taken that mirror!

Still probably made 80% of bits fall off mind you.

Yeah, it's caused by climate change.

Now where did I leave the keys to my electric conveyance ;-)

Yes, the bow wave from the rear tyres of the truck hitting the back of the car.
