My Crash yesterday!! Lots of pics!

[jwarren2k2]

Well, unfortunately, i had a wee accident yesterday!

Was going towards a nice big roundabout which is next to work which is easy to see if anyone's coming, thought there was nothing so was on my way to carrying straight on, then realised the car to the right was coming all the way round, not turning off as first thought!

I was on a corner into the roundabout and had to stop.. on went the brakes and out goes the rear! kicks to left, then right, then im facing the kerb at 45 degrees... bang! up the kerb, (prob got alot of air) landed and slid to a stop 3 ft from a lampost with engine still running fine, phew!

Got out looked around, all is good i thought... until i saw my front wheel that was... BO***CKS!

Onto the RAC, got the recovery truck (didnt get charged!), police turned up, breathalized and got a 7 day producer. They were going to have me for environmental damage cos of the 'freshly cut grass' and the 1ft x 1inch divot i left in the pavement! They let me off tho (they can be nice!)

Anyway, the valver is now on my drive, all the broken bits are off apart from the driveshaft, hopefully get it sorted this weekend! We shall see...


By the way, i know im an idiot and im ok and laughing about it cos everyone's fine apart from my car! any amusing comments are more than welcome!


Here's the pics!

That doesnt look to good, bad to hear of the accident.
Cant work out where abouts in Portsmouth that is though.
Have you checked the chassis legs are still allright? does look quite nasty.
Is the subframe allright still?

can't believe you gashed them wheels up!

looks from the pics tho like someone had a dominos pizza so couldnt have all been bad.

Sorry about your car.

pizza hut is better than dominoes

[jwarren2k2]

subframe looks fine,

its in waterlooville between asda and the tk maxx, halfords, matalan... car park (hambledon road).

what exactly are the chassis legs? are the the 2 bots of vertical metal about 6 inches long?!

I was on lunch from work, popped to dominos for the pizza and this happened on the way back!

I didnt eat any of it either, i suddenly lost my appetite!
