How dumb am i!!! despite warnings from people to drive slowly in my first few weeks driving i managed to reverse into a car (with no damage) on my 2nd day driving and now i fcuking lost it goin round a sweeping corner and went backwards up a kerb into a grass verge.
basically i was mucking about and tried to go sideways and went majorly sideways, tried to correct it and it flicked the other way and i ended up backwards on a bank lodged in the grass. My car is covered in mud all over the roof and everywhere and theres still grass falling out of places. I think the car is alright but it took quite a whack when i went up the kerb.
the word TWAT springs to mind!!
just thought i'd let all the people that have passed recently know that things happen especially when its wet!!!

I trust you will be more careful in future...
What if someone was walking down the kerb?

it wasnt a street it was near a shopping centre and the road bend under a bridge then up round onto a dual carriageway. basically theres just a big grassy hill at the side after the bridge and i spanked into that.
But it has taight me to be more careful yes!!!

despite warnings from people to drive slowly in my first few weeks driving... tried to go sideways and went majorly sideways, tried to correct it and it flicked the other way and i ended up backwards...

If it's still a 1.2 I will Still laugh.

It's cheaper to insure a 2.3 LR than a 1.0 Nova
landrover has loads of street cred though lol :roll:
