Best video contest: Counting Potholes

babis_xo · **October 17, 2010, 03:06:34**

Rules:
It has to be downtown, not a country road
It should be an everyday route

The winner gets a free tarmac restoration

This is just a small sample from my everyday drive from work. Almost dropped my cellphone a couple of times... (video is crappy, but this doesn't count to the final score

)

I can see the headline now " Greek authorities continue search for maniac driving car one handed through the streets of Athens"

I see what you mean though .. I didn't realise you lived in the "holy" land ...

Holy Land

Dazz, i was driving two handed, holding my cellphone among with stering wheel. Safety first

Thanks Ian! it's very comforting for me to know that there are places on earth with worse roads

... Like... eeer Zimbabwe

(maybe you can't see the potholes on the crappy video, but you can clearly hear the bumps)

I counted 32

Do I win?

babis_xo · **Reply #5: October 18, 2010, 11:30:15**

No you don't! I've never counted them myself.
Besides, the contest is for the best... i mean worse video.
And as it seems, i'll be the winner... unless we have a partitipation from Zimbabwe.

LOL ill smack a photo up!
i cant get video off the camera (due to me not knowing how)

agentr31 · **Reply #7: October 19, 2010, 13:24:59**

i promise you all these photos are with in 10km of bulawayo city! and the top two are the city center... try counting the potholes in pic 3... there are pot holes that have pot holes in them, that have been half fixed, the sad thing there is that they just dont have the money to fix them and when they do, literally in a week they are back again...

i would have given anything for a photo of greystoke road... NOW that had to be seen to be belived... there were pot holes IN potholes... you literally couldnt go faster than walking pace...

That's really bad.

He in UK you only get those roads off the "beaten"track

What causes them?

Dazzler · **Reply #9: October 19, 2010, 21:05:22**

Thanks for the pix Ian .. we have some roads that are pretty rough.. but none quite that bad that I can remember.. by the time they get patched that much they are fully resurfaced.

No offence meant but roadsides need a bit of a tidy up too

agentr31 · **Reply #10: October 20, 2010, 10:03:36**

yer dazzler they wont get tidied up... its zimbabwe... the "locals" don't really have any pride in anything, and most of the whites that do care just get shot down because they are a minority... its pretty sad, but T.I.A and thats how they roll.

i want to go back again, i love africa. it mightnt be the prettiest place but its home, and most of my family is there!

2i30s · **Reply #11: October 20, 2010, 10:15:19**

that amazing,I'll never moan about our crap roads again.

agentr31 · **Reply #12: October 20, 2010, 10:43:49**

ive never winged about the roads here since i went back home...

its like the roads here are made from carpet!

they do manage to keep the highways in semi decent condition! the yaris we hired seemed to like doing 150kph on them LOLZ

2i30s · **Reply #13: October 20, 2010, 10:48:33**

the light blue datsun 120y in the 5Th pic hasn't got any doors or a bonnet.

agentr31 · **Reply #14: October 20, 2010, 11:54:40**

2i30s · **Reply #15: October 21, 2010, 10:11:15**

agentr31 · **Reply #16: October 21, 2010, 14:44:27**

babis_xo · **Reply #17: October 22, 2010, 11:18:13**

Hehe... there is a "strong" competition from Zimbabwe. I'm not frustrated though. These photos reminds me a lot the place i live, so i'll recrudesce

agentr31 · **Reply #18: October 22, 2010, 12:37:20**

Daken76 · **Reply #19: October 22, 2010, 17:41:31**

Jesus, these Pics look like after a Tornado or a Monsun.

Heavy, didn,t thought about giving them to a Off Road Forum.

Some Streets in Germany are nearly like them too, of course.

I doubt it's the city center though...

agentr31 · **Reply #21: October 27, 2010, 12:24:10**

yer hahahah! who lets the city center get that bad!

Daken76 · **Reply #22: October 29, 2010, 06:50:38**

Guys, you´re not that kind of false.

Some Cities in old Germany (West) have even more damaged Roads than them in the new Counties (East Germany).

Thank for Pranks.
