Travelled all the way to work this morning and just as i take the last corner to work i hit some solid ice and straight into kurb
Its damaged the wheel, bent the lower arm and snapped the anti roll bar drop link bracket of my coilover

I did something similar yesterday, pulled the handbrake to step the back end out and the front end lost grip at the same time, slid straight into the kurb, but just bounced over it and carried on  I walked past the corner later on and it looked like a few other people had hit the kurb there too

That's what I done too, only I bounced off the curb and it spun me around. Damaged something, I think the bottom arm, or hope its only that.

Mine *seems* fine.
Although it did make some funny noise when I attempted to do a reverse donut earlier, like a pump on fast or something down by the abs bits, but switched the engine off and back on and it was fine

You'd think you would have learned after twating it into a kurb? So you do reverse donut's

i nearly hit a tree last night in the citroen, came up to a 90degree bend and carried straight on, nice patch of ice, managed to pump the breaks as abs was poo and turned enough to bounce of the kurb and back on the road, note to self dont talk on mobile while driving through country lanes in the ice

It's been pretty mad out there the last few days. Monday i braked and back end slid into a curbe. Tuesday going over a speed bump again lost the back end qand almost hit a black Corsa parked up. Wednesday went down the most dodgy road ever and risked my life... And just before coming into my close lost the back end again on a corner. Also today, had to help a Focus out the car park, park a Punto ang have the Belingo pushed out as it was stuck in snow.
Had so many near misses over the last couple of days.. Boss tells me to go into work so i do, it's there insurance at the end of the day. I refuse to drive anywhere until Tuesday next week now

Plan is to fit the suspension im buying off tom and then use the 4 wheel alignment machine at work to check if its ok.
Ive already changed the lower arm and fitted new foglamp.
