Cheers :-)
accident in Sumava hills, Europe, after crazy fitting worn summer 175/65 R14... nowadays using not recommended wide Kleber Krisalp 3 195/60 R14 and being satisfied with them much (good grip,braking,corner stability etc.).
Best result was that after accident there was nothing to repair under or inside the chassis of my Wagon! And either left side of the body!!! Either Hyundai is so good for winter or it was only unbelievable lucky chance :)

Specially in winter on ice and snow I love LOW-sensitive Hyundai brakes with "well-proportioned" onset and progress, opposite to e.g. Citroens, Škoda etc. In cruel winter conditions this could be really the car's attribute between life and death!

ohhhhh that road looks like fun :grin: Glad to see you and the car are alright. That said it looks like you only fell off the road which usually won't cause too much damage.

Well, it was lucky chance in many ways, I agree :-) But good picture, isn't it? :-) After accident I completely painted chassis with special anti-corrosion and hightemperature-resistant (=exhaust) colours and after next 3 years of driving chassi look still nice.

...and my little excuse of my terrible English... either/neither... it's my shame..

Bye
