Hes having a bad day.
So I heard a loud bang this morning while sitting soldering my interior bits. Managed to catch this on camera. Thank god he wasn't coming the other way
Pretty new golf R estate Clearly going too fast + ice and summer tyres. After speaking to him and despite the car looking OK on camera the damage is pretty severe, bother headlights destroyed bonnet has a nice crease in it and the bumper and wings are both battered. The lads only had it a short while. |

I had somebody do that on the street I lived on in Edinburgh for a while. The worst thing though was that my car was parked right there in the way. He ended up pushing my car through a wall! Thankfully it was an old Cavalier, in the days before I could afford a nice car.
Nice car OP... I can see why you have the camera aimed there. Always good to see that bonnet vent!

Ladies and gentlemen... the right tyres are everything in winter.
As well as not driving like a knob.

There is only one line in your post that is key. The tyres have no effect without input from a driver !

You can drive like a knob on the right tyres, and not drive like a knob on the wrong tyres. The result of both could be the same.
