oopps jimny fell over

I hope that is not Battersby plantation as this was supposed to have been repaired last month by the Forrestry commission.

Wow ... how did you manage that ? Looks as though the damage is minimal though.

I saw this on my phone this morning less than a minute after you posted it and thought you were trying to avoid the ruts for that reason and perhaps drove too far to the left up the side slope.

I hope you get your car fixed up ok, however, I have to say that if you are on a lane and think you are going to get stuck in the ruts - perhaps you shouldn't be on the lane?

This is what get's us a bad name and that lane looks like it's in a real mess.

Kirkynut

yes gromit it was battersby, i understand what you are saying kirkynut but i have been up there before and every one elses ruts are usualy too big for jimnys so i wouldnt get any where if i dnt try :laugh: .
the lane is always like that as the forrestry go up there.

Only one dent! :side:

I've got a dent in the same place and the glass has been replaced

good job it was soft mud!

trust you didn't hurt your self

Aye up Amanda! Try keep it shiny side up eh?:laugh: least you couldn't leave your door open for the photo (for a change).

Glad you're ok - that's the main thing. Shame about that snorkel though :pinch:

dent near the missing window and front side panel. bumper lost a couple of clips aswell lol. is was still frozen in some places if it had of been thawed out the damage may have been less.

How did you go about getting her upright again..?

Right, been in touch with the North Yorks GLASS Rep (Paul Blagden) about the state of this lane, It was trashed by the forrestry mob but they promised NYCC that it would be put back to a decent state when they finished. Paul is going to contact NYCC and play holy hell !!!!

Battersby has been rutted like that for a few weeks since the snow. I've tried it a few times but couldnt get through.

my dad just winched it back over. its a shame the state of it as it was a very good lane, hopefully they will put it right and it dries out a bit in summer.

hi there, i rolled my jimny last yr during a trial it took for ever to tumble,the organisers were quick rolled me back over and i was back on me way .
the only damage was the bcak qrt way there was a sml dent ,robust little buggers mind the roll cage did help .
