well got in from work yesterday night and me mum had cleaned the drive of the snow which didn't take much notice off. so i parks me car at top of the drive and goes into the house.

little time later i hear a strange bang. so goes outside to see what happened. The cars slid down the drive and gone straight into garage door. It wiped out door and gone straight into the rs

. panic sets in lol

so after a minute or two struggling get car back up drive because of the ice that was left on drive that was underneath the snow that was cleared

.

when finally managed to move the door, luckily it hadn't done any damage to the rs because the had brake was left off, so car just rolled forward

and my car escaped without anything major. just needs good t cutting and ploish where doors rubbed on the paint.

so now there's a lovely dent in the door which cant bend out and a heavily gritted drive way lol. Great news is me dad ain't killed me which thought he would lol

suppose can laugh at it now, but at the time wasn't funny at all

just becareful when clearing snow away folks

This is Dad posting (Chris left it logged on) !!!!!

I'll be having a very close look at the RS bumper at the weekend.

He may be paying for a roller shutter garage door and an RS bumper

(perhaps I'll have to cancel the Dreamscience package)

i know this is going back abit but we moved the RS out garage yesterday and started it up.

Not good, within few minute or so there was water dripping quite quickly from underneath the front bumper. Basically without going into too much chat, we stripped the front end down and the end caps cracked on the charge cooler so that's

and cant be fixed and bottom bumper is smashed in 3 places :-( GUTTED!!!

 

[LawwaST]

Gutted - I hate it when you discover hidden damage. Hope your dad's not on too much of a rampage!

 

[Boost Junkie]
