welcome to about 6 hours ago

 

[Naf]

haha! There was also more roadkill too, but better than your puny rabbit

 

[mattyprice4004]

Holy crap glad I wasn't in the way of that!

Andy's car is looking awesome as usual, so gutted I missed this due to ****** work!

Get well soon Darryn, anyone care to provide a sequence of events?



Edit: I didn't kill that rabbit

Glad to see you're ok Darryn, sounds like it was a horrible accident but I'm sure you'll learn from it and be the better driver for it. We all get caught out, no such thing as a perfect driver before the high horse crew roll in.

looks like it was a big old crash! Amazing he got out of that unscathed, a testament to the strength of modern cars!

i said exactly the same to him, though it could have been a whole lot worse, on the other side of the road was a hell of a drop, he's lucky he went up hill rather than down hill if you know what i mean.

Definaltey. I am amazed how well the cabin protected him. My next car maybe a Honda

Not a Civic though Dup Can't feel the acceleration!

That's how I read that.

It is easily a 500ft drop.

the weather changed rather quickly.

Before the photo call we were all up on the hills enjoying a good drive when it was dry. Trouble was when we went back for the photoshoot it was raining, and raining a lot so the grip was getting worse and worse. Just unfortunate that darryn was the one to get caught out by it.

this was up saddleworth moor way, so you can imagine what the drops are like.

google terrain maps show 400M drop in one gradient line. Thats how steep it was

Can vouch for that, other than that bridge with the hairpins it was very grippy in the dry.
