Slid backwards 75yds down a Devon lane hill this morning. Had to laugh as forward progress turned to reverse. Took 35 mins to get off the sheet ice I finally stopped on...  couldnt even stand up on it, progress finally made by putting one side in the ditch a bit.

I just washed it the other day and now its plastered in mud up to the door bottoms.    

Drive carefully folks - as nearly front ended by a loony in a Golf who roared towards me at around 40 about 5 mins later, lost traction and slid 30 yards, pleased to say he ended up in a bush about 3 foot from my right side, one finger salute and I was on my way
