Drove the Fiesta into work today and booked the Octavia into the local Skoda dealer/garage.
However, on the way home it was raining really badly and the roads were very wet. There is this section of road on the Buxton to Congleton road that is quite windy and hilly at the same time. This bit is no trouble for the Octavia, but when I drove the Fiesta around it I found that comming out of the last turn the car didn’t have any stearing. It took all of my driving skill not to hit the opposite bank head on straight away. I managed to slow the car down quite a bit before it finally hit/slid into the bank side on on the wrong side of the road.
If there had been anything comming the other way I would have had a really nasty accident. As it was the car was fine. I just had to wash the wheel free of all the mud it had collected and it was good as it was before.
Funny thing that. I hit the Octavia off of a curb and it costs me over £400. But I take the Fiesta and completely throw it into the hedge and it drives away just fine!
