Grit Rash
« on: 14 December 2011, 18:36:32 »
Well, this evening I got my first dose of 'Grit Rash' this winter. I swear the twot moved over to the crown of the road so I got both barrels too! >:( I don't know what they're using this year but it sounded bloody horrid as it bounced along the full side of the car. I wont know what damage if any until tomorrow when it's light enough to see  :-\

Contractors here have done road works here the last 2 weeks laying pipes. you would not believe the state of the tarmacing  after. Half a mile of new road 2 yrs ago and now just looks like a patchwork quilt with holes everywhere. these companies should be made to pay the bill to renew the road.

A gritter down your road? :o hats off to the driver then, turning around at the end of your road, unless he reversed, either way must be good...... :y :y

Joking apart, I hope the car is OK.... :y

I think someone said they did, but how would you prove it on an older car where you would expect to see a few stone chips?.... :-\ :-\ :-\

bloody hell i would be so lucky to have a gritter.... we have to use a ped gritter for our retail park because our towable one is a pile of rust after the last manager tried to service it.... i`m still arguing with head office to allow us to hire 1 or release funds so we can buy a used one off ebay.... just hope it aint as bad as last year.... we ran out of grit in 4 days and had to beg borrow and steal.... ::)
