Thought I would share some pics of when I smashed my BMW up on the A34 near Cheadle... The old guy in pic stopped to help me.

Sorry for quality but they were on my phone







Feel free to add some pics of yours..... not dead people please....

Snazy

Got nothing to compare to that lol

Glad to have you with us today !
And glad there aint a rear seat passenger skewered on the end of it.

mrtheedge2u2

I know..... police said as much.... I was travelling at 35mph.... the barrier was not bolted together.... police said I should sew (spelling?) the council....but guess what, when they came to inspect it the barrier had disappeared..... *******

Like a knife through butter. You're lucky you weren't seriously hurt.

Shark Man

**** That was a lucky escape, if that barrier went through at a different angle it would have been very nasty.

Here, have my Polo: Nerfed by a Taxi that didn't see me stationary and didn't bother braking at 30mph. Impact briefly sent the rear of the car airbourne and then spinning into oncomming traffic - which pranged the front....bent the sills and the roof to the extent that passenger door wouldn't open....still drove though (just )

You should remove that like through pure embarrassment

Shark Man

What - it was my communting car, forced on me due to the huge amount of scum that were near where I worked (Brum). I paid £150 for it, 60,000miles, new brakes all round, Full service history and one owner from new!

After a quick tune up, set of HT leads and a rotor arm without a rev limter, it would happily go off the clock on the motorway

Added a hidden CD changer, some Recaros out of an old Astra GTE and it was quite a comfy cruiser. Miss it actually...could dump it anywhere and know it would still be there when I came back


....Taxi driver gave me £500 cash not to go through insurance

what would scooby do

That driver must have been hoofing it !

Go on then

It did look like this



Until I miss-judged an exit on a round about, 280hp through the rear wheels via an lsd in a 1200kg car on roundabout exits dont go together to well in the wet










All I can say is, its a tribute to Toyota for making well built strong light cars.

way back when I was 18

mrtheedge2u2

did it T-cut out?

MattW

I haven't got pictures of my best one, but funny story none the less. Was hoofing along some country road on my way for a **** in my Metro turbo, this was circa 1990. Anyhow the road was a bit greasy and I came round the corner and manged to bin it sideways into the hedge. proper write off.

I called the local garage guy and he came out and picked me and the car up. Obviously not wanting to miss out on my bit of nookie, I got him to drop me off at the bird's house and asked him to drop my car at home.

At this stage i was still living at home, and of course pre mobile phone days. i think my mum must have has a heart attack when she saw this wreck dumped on the drive with me not about

Anyhow got my nookie and the Metro got reshelled over the summer, only to be binned again not long after. Eventually was nicked from work, oh the memories.

Shark Man, I had an identical Polio, my missus bought it and I got it when she bought a new one, 1050 cc after a 1.9 GTI engineering MK1 Golf GTI, damn decent little smoker, once I had done some jobs after female type abuse, I like woefully underpowered cars, its a challenge, superb for carrying stuff the old Polo mini hearse as well, sold it to a guy who drove to Manchester from the Lakes based on my description, it was pristine and he was made up, wouldnt be surprised if its still going.

My only bump was my Brothers Rover 200 M reg, I used it whilst he was on his world travels and my Fiat Coupe was being a Fiat, a guy went across the East Lancs at a junction and just stopped in the middle of the road, I hit him at about 10 mph and scratched his bumper, broke the Rovers headlamp and bent the bonnet, sent our kid some photos of it with Sorry undernaeath, I told a mate at work who was from the area who said that on that junction there was a "Knocking Shop" above a hairdressers, he reckoned the bloke was going there, he did look dodgy, the Annoying thing was I was going with a lad from work to look at a car for him, I drove him there and back, examined the car, negotioated £100 off and bumped the car and he didnt even say thanks, let alone a pint, selfish **** !

One less 205 1.9 GTi on the road (as of August 2001!)

Cracking little car that - I had 4 including a 1.9 GTi Turbo Technics, and I've still yet to drive a car thats as involving and as much fun!

Not ideal rolling that one, but nobody was hurt - pics on the night look quite bad, but didn't look too bad on the drive the next day - even drove it up the drive after unloading from the delivery truck!
