Driving to work this morning came across this Boxster parked in a hedge :o
The guy to the right with the dog was taking photos.


It is on Winsley Hill near Bath, I am heading downhill in the photo, it is steep & I've just come round a bend. What I can't work out is how the driver managed to get the car backwards into the hedge. The road was damp but it wasn't raining, limit is 40mph at this point. It is a proper big hedge now, on Google maps (https://goo.gl/maps/CVite3RRBvt) it is an old view & looks quite low. I've seen cars that have gone off the road frontways on this road - a brand new Seat Leon recently - but not one backwards in the hedge. It didn't look like it had rolled.
 
Oooooch ! So easy done this time of year with cold damp roads especially if the tyres aren't warmed up or have low tread :cry:
Trouser change before work i suspect :wink:
 
Is that a bend in front of you as well? If so, the driver may have come round that a bit too quickly, fishtailed, possibly getting a rear wheel on the grass verge, spun and ended up going off the road backwards

Surprisingly not... although it could be said that it looks like a very over-ripe banana... :lol:

I think that is the most likely. The white house you can see centre of pic is actually next to the canal below road level & the road bends to the left behind it. If they had overcooked it coming downhill I guess they would have hit the wall & done a lot of bodywork damage.
I love driving up this hill when I'm in the Zed - I'll give that corner a little extra respect now :?
