Looks like a hire firms logo, I think he's just lost his deposit


Well spotted ! :clap:

We were chatting to someone who was renting and deposit was £750. A lot of cash to losc unless AA or RAC could help.

Not to mention the chaos for everyone else waiting to get passed while it's being recovered.

I have to admit the same happened to me while serving in the Hebrides, only it was a 30 seater coach.
I had passed my passing space and a car came straight towards me,I thought naively that I could just move over slightly.
As I looked out the drivers window at the increasing sky view as we slowly turned over on to our roof as the side of the road gave way, I had made better decisions.
It's a right bugger turning the engine off when you are up side down.
Still it gave the recovery mechanics a day out. Lol

I have been caravanning for 32 years but in 2014 I have"gone over to the dark side"

Yup - McRent - This summer in Skye & the North West of Scotland there were grillions of hire MoHo's "cluttering up" the roads - driving nose to tail in convoys - no separation on single track roads and parking in passing places - it would appear that "the world and his wife" spends a couple of weeks in the summer renting a McMoHo and "doing" the NC 500 cos it is on the "must do it bucket list"!!:eek:o_O:cautious::rolleyes:

Could have been a lot worse








It could have been my van.......
My sister is really bad for pulling over for every passing vehicle even at the expense of damaging her van, I on the other hand will pull over to allow overtaking or in passing places etc but if I can't safely without damaging my vehicle and I can't reverse safely then it's a case of the car coming towards me is reversing or moving
