Default Nearly bumped the S

I've been avoiding using my S given the weather of late. Took the car out, all good. Arrived home and tried to reverse back into my driveway, loss of traction ensues and I nearly end up clipping my neighbour's car parked adjacent to the entrance of my drive on the road.

Very close call, the back end skidded and ground to a halt 20mm away from my neighbour's car.


Thankfully it didn't end in this time

Nearly won't kill the bird, but I'm glad your S is still in one piece

It's a scary feeling! Did you make a noise like "ooooooooooohhhhhhhh" as you slid round? I heard some idiot doing that today as I was trying to get onto the main road, then realised it was me.

At least all's well and no damage done!

After my stuck adventure I'm taking my wife's Meriva, which was just brilliant in the snow yesterday.

Yes, thoughts of my NCB disappearing down the pan and where the nearest body shop is flashed though my mind in slow motion
