Crash

Driven 70,000 miles now in my trusty Skoda Felica. I have to report no accidents or near misses. But for many people this is not the case. This is the car when it snowed last year.

In the 1980's I was involved in a crash in Norfolk travelling to an event with my cousin Kelvin and some friends.

We became distracted by a low flying plane and the driver did not slow down for the corner. The skoda was rear wheel drive and when the driver tried to correct the turn he over steered and lost the front wheels as they began to slide. At high speed we span in the road across oncoming traffic and into the other side of the road landing with the car on its side! All jumped out and got back ready for the explosion, but nothing happened so we pushed it back level and to our relief the car was still in working order.

After heavy snow the car looked like this!
