But in the van I was fine :y:

Call Citroen and get a replacement asap or the arch will fall to bits.

dont get a replacement arch from citroen! they will seriously mug you off for an unpainted arch
why would the arch fall to bits without the plastic vt arch?

Think he was joking pal.
I managed to get the car sideways this morning at 70ish on the m5. For about 000.1 seconds before I shat myself and corrected it. I blame Diesel on the roads lol

My arch linings ripped off this week :n: have to drive 60miles a day to work and was late tuesday morning so I pushed it to just 'slightly' over 70mph lol and the arch linings just flew off, luckily no one was behind. 2nd time that's happened now :(

Saw a guy yesterday in a TT 3.2 playing big man in town despite the weather conditions. He headed straight for a 10 inch + puddle, giant splash then a giant cloud of smoke. The aggressive driving pattern dissappeared bit after that large slice of mother nature...

yeah I figured that out. Since two years ago I taken the habit of waking up a half hour earlier so I don't have to rush, and also save more on petrol when commuting. I wouldn't rush in these conditions, all it takes is one big gust of wind to sweep you out of the road. Stay safe dude :y:

The floor pan of my car hits the water before anything else. Creates a whole different kind of aquaplane experience.
