So traveling at 4mph and a snowball sent you into a slide?

+1 lol


No one on CS ever seems to crash because they were going to fast for the conditions.

 

[Brett]

You wouldn't of done so much damage hitting a kerb at 2-4mph lets be honest. must have been going at least 10mph.

Do you realise how slow 2-4mph is, walking pace, a bit of kerbing to your alloys yes, but not airbags and fcuked steering.

I'm sure you've learnt from your mistake anyway, its a harsh lesson to learn I know, its happened to me.

I passed dec 23rd 04 and that was a snowwy winter

You can't do 4mph without slipping the clutch in a Clio. (unless you have 10" wheels perhaps).

Sorry, I don't buy it!

LOL! You dont?

This is possibly the best excuse for a crash ive ever heard. Its much better than doing 20 at a roundabout thats covered in oil.

You know it. nothing like scaring the parents in the snow.

 

[Revels]

Im also quite surprised that the airbags went off at such a low speed..

just what i was thinking, it's human nature to pass the blame though.

indeed... not sure about the 1.2 as I've never driven a 1.2 clio... but to do 2-4mph in my 182 would mean the clutch would have to be used! :S

Unlucky about the bump, hopefully it won't cost too much to repair.

 

[Rob]

To be fair, in a 1.2 yes you can go that slow without using the clutch, but i had two near misses yesterday and hit one kerb (camber on the road and brakes locked up on ice so went into it) but was probably doing about 10mph and all it result in was me being annoyed i may have marked my alloy...

 

[robclio16v]

onestly now guys onestly im to blame , u cant blame the wether im jus sayin , i wasnt going fast an tbh i aint got a clue how the fukin air bag went off lol ,, i havnt had a chance to look at the damage underneath yet all i sed is possible damage , i kno my wheel is fuked for sure tho

 

[Wobba]

I've smacked my old scooby on kerbs in the snow before about 14 years ago, its no big deal, and to be honest powersliding about going apeshit sideways at 40 odd was well worth a minor scrub out of the alloys

Awesome fun.

 

[alanc1000]

PICS?

 

[Marcus---]

Airbag off could be a write off on a 1.2, mine went off on my old car and they wrote it off, tough to take but be prepared for the worst...

 

[robclio16v]

i hope it iosnt lol,, im guna use the damge to replace with beter parts anyway, buckets etc

 

[leecup]

i dont get why there's more crashes on clio sport than any other car forum ive been on! shocking tbh

Does that mean it's likely you're a crap driver too?

 

[gtruk]

Cant you turn the pasenger airbags off with the key? Will save lots more money that way

 

[Tom@JMS]

wouldnt waste your time putting buckets in a 1.2. Pick up a pair of RS seats in the for sale section for next to nothing with airbags that will go straight on your runners.
