well after getting my willy back from the body shop after having a rear arch fitted i was well happy with the car
it had had new bumpers and plastics all round new lights n indicators bonnet and wing it was looking mint :)

iv only feckin crashed it :(

this happened 2 weeks ago and iv been tryin to sort it out with insurance again
but today the car is being dropped off un repaired :(
i am starting to look out for bits and me and my friend are gonna do what we can then pass it on to another bodyshop to repaint front end

im so angry with myself :( i was looking forward to you guys seeing it this year at fcs and rws
with a bit of luck i might still be able to make the shows ??

Bugger :(

If your avatar is anything to go by, 13 really is unlucky for some!

Hope you can get it sorted :)

And, I'm not preaching, merely suggesting, spend an extra 80-odd quid and get yourself enrolled into the local Institute of Advanced Motorists group so you can hopefully avoid any future slip ups! :)

Happens to the best of us though :(

long story cut short
at a small round about
an artic truck decided to come on the wrong side of the road around a bollard
the bloke in a seat brava in front of me locked up and skidded into the kerb which stopped him dead and i hit him up the arse
we had just set off so was only low speeds

the police was called but because the truck didnt make contact with the seat he wasnt actually involved in an accident and was aparently given a verbal warning but for going round the bollard on the wrong side of the road
it was for leaving the scene
his excuse for going on wrong side of the road was to avoid causing an accident for the upcoming tight left corner he had to do ???

end of the day its down to me for hittin him up the arse
i was just glad him and his child was fine
even the bloke was gutted about my car lol said it looked mint
