Silly Icy Road - Thanks for the rescue DONI, my HERO

 If only we had had a camera with us, what a funny incident!!

Am I the only one these things seem to happen to consistently? Yesterday evening, I left work to go to a late home visit at 7pm. Noticed a no entry sign so did not turn into the road and took myself on a 'guess the alternative approach' route. So foolishly turned into a narrow cul de sac, on a slight hill, on a very icy road of compacted snow. The car would not reverse out. A few lovely street residents came out to help. I somehow managed to do a 20 point turn to turn the car around with a nice lady using a shovel trying to help. Once turned around, sadly the wheels just kept on spinning. Eventually left the car....called SUPERMAN and waited on main road for rescue. My wonderful rescuer, walked back to the car with me, he tried in 2nd gear, but still no movement. Eventually, SUPERMAN suggested that I climb on the bonnet and this worked to put the weight on the front tyres.

SO I KNEW THERE WAS A GOOD REASON WHY I HAVE PUT ON THOSE EXTRA TENS OF POUNDS ....USEFUL EH!!

thanks DONI...
