Some poor owners aren't going to get their cars on time :eek:

thats not good, but nice looking white fabia there through!

Not the best thing in the workd to do !

I do find it rather odd when you see things like this you question wtf was the driver thinking? We've seen in the past when double decker busses hit low bridges, surely the driver can see that his vehicle is likely to get decapitated?

Thread moved to a more approprate location.

That looks like it could be at the factory.

Some red faces there I feel.

Steve - It may seem obvious to you in a car but I can tell you from experience that when in a large vehicle you drive under a bridge, no matter how confident you are it's still a bottom twitching moment. It isn't always dead easy, remember that the body sits way above the cab.

That's what's happening when you rely on your GPS

Bet they repair the white fabia and the black one that is where the rear screen was

oops

you'll see them on ebay.

there was one that popped up after it fell off the truck!!

As I found out when I turned a Transit into a convertable two years ago

I imagine the driver will have some explaining to do....

hmmm, spare parts anyone....

They're based in Slovakia, and sell "crashing cars" apparently:

Turinsky Transport s.r.o.

:rofl:

I remember a road move we had to do once with the TA. We had 8 drops loaded with ammo and a 9th with a Volvo forklift on the back. The TSO planned a route which involved going under 5 bridges. The idiot didn't take into account the Volvo sits a damn site higher on the back of a Drops than pallets of 105/155 shells.

Luckly the driver of the 9th Drops was rather a good operator, and every bridge he came to I'd drop off on the bike (I was section cmdr at the time) to block any traffic getting close up his behind, and he'd half drop the rack (containing the forklift) of the back and slowly drive under.

:confused: The burgendy and white one (bottom left of 1st thumbnail) what's that all

about then? don't see colour schemes like that here (am I being stupid?)

Edit : They're all like it, must be a protective film or something. (stoopid!)

Fail.

I dealt with a similar job a while ago where a double-decker bus driver took the roof clean off, and what was his excuse "I NORMALLY DRIVE SINGLE-DECKERS" :rolleyes:

Oh dear, an expensive mistake I feel.

ive only had one that i nearly ogt stuck under, the inches on the sign were out by 2 inches to the vehicles heightr indicator, a slow drive under and a small scraping noise soon had me in reverse to get the vehicle out.

Like stu says some people might want to give it a try in a lorry, its not as easy as you think and certainly can be a bottom twitching experience.

How did you turn a Transit into a convertible?

How did you turn a Transit into a convertible?

A height restriction said it was an inch higher than the Transit I was driving.

Turns out it wasn't The front half of the roof was taken cleanly off, so cleanly you couldn't tell anything was wrong until you looked inside

oh my god!! That is a little amusing though
