oh no mate, this is doing the rounds, the tight arse should have helped that poor lass, she was proper upset.

Agreed!

The fact that this sad w@nka has got nothing better to do than video a car stuck in the snow (and an upset girl at that) just makes him an arsehole IMHO.

I wonder how his (supposed) Supra would have coped.....

I'd say she was beyond help. The only thing he could have done that made any sense would be to take the keys off her.
I guess that would make her cry too.

What's happend to helping a lass these days?

But I suppose it was kinda funny

clivvy · 22-12-2010, 14:03

yeah of course he could have helped. cars stuck in snow videos are funny, but this one, i dunno, its kinda tight. he could have got off his arse, got a shovel, and dug the snow out from her back wheels, that sall he had to do. instead, he was a bit of a cock, as was his wife, and they got their comeuppance in the form of thelady driving into their house ha ha!

what gets me though, is that poor lass is clearly VERY upset...

Peasgood · 22-12-2010, 14:25

I still think he did her a favour by not helping her on her way. The possible disasters that lay in front of her are endless.
Wouldn't be surprised to discover her distress was due to her being late for a hair appointment or something equally important.

would have thought obvious answer, having not watched vid, is
to leave beamer at home, as walking is preferable at best of times
to being seen in one.

Perception is all ehh

Thats an old vid now

Before a row developed and adding comments was disabled/edited on that it the camera man commented.

He is in a wheel chair and was watching out of the window. His wife went outside to offer help and subsequently ended up providing the good old standard cuppa to distressed (incompetent) BMW driver

I understand theres a category in the London 2012 for jumping to conclusions

Ooooh do I hear the little green monsters?? LMAO!!

I love beemers, we have 1999 318is (our second) Not fault free by any standard, but a quick sharp handling and comfortable car for its age.

It is also put together very well and reasonably easy and cheap to DIY maintain and buy parts for.
