I put my Fiesta through a wall
Having split from the breadknife I went out for a thrash in the car, bad idea no1. I set off to rerun one of the Dales runs, given the weather, bad idea no2. Didn't have full concentration cos I was upset over her but carried on through the rain and puddles anyway, bad idea no3.
Basically I came into a tight right hander too fast, in the wrong gear, unprepared, skated over the top of a large puddle, got terminal understeer, locked up and carrered through the wall!
I'm absolutely fine, no problem at all, I was so lucky! The car however needs, a bonnet, 2x wings, a bumper, 2x h / lamps, 2 x indidcators, 2x fog lamps.........
Never mind tho eh, it could of been a lot worse!
At the moment it looks like I won't be able to attend Well lane and Mellow's run, well the car probably won't anyway! I'll keep you all posted!

Hi Bob, glad to hear your ok, sorry about the mota, it really is a legend!
Just a thought, what about gettin' closer to a scoob?, you know, front bumper, wings, bonnet etc and retain the legendary wheel liftin' rear?
Just a thought....
Seriously, glad your ok & hope you sort things out,

Sorry to hear of your off. As long as you are OK, thats the main thing, cars can be fixed, humans sometimes can't.
Does this mean you'll be getting a scooby now?

Sorry to hear about the loss mate - at least it wasn't you in need of new wings etc. Any damages - just pride mainly I guess???
I know the feeling of "at least your alright" I've heard it all this week as well. My P1 went bye bye on Saturday night - woman drove in front of me and it's pretty much a mess (well wasted, said the guy at the towing garage). Haven't posted, cos I'm still in a big sulk about it. Might go to Well Lane with my mate though, giz a shout if your going and we'll meet up and compate cuts and bruises
Cheers
Andy
Not trying to get sympathy on Bob's thread peeps - just saying I know how it feels at the mo!

Cheers chaps
Well, the legend lives on! I put some new lights in today and gaffed up the bumper, it will make an appearance at Well Lane but won't be going on the rollers, it has a water leak, I really can do without it blowing up now plus the £20 can be put to better use now!
It looks a mess at the mo, needs 2 wings, a bumper and bonnet plus a few minor repairs, ah well, you live and learn!
At least it wasn't a P1 tho, mate, I feel for ya! I guess I'm lucky not to have gone through a divorce too!
Thanks for the lift offers aswell guys
Cya in the morning chaps

Only metal though Bob, important thing is you are in one piece.
Slap it about with a big hammer and all will be fine again. You'll soon by hanging onto a Scooby bumper at meet.

Tell you what it is, the Badger was the biggest bang I've had for a while well, since Friday night anyway
I thought the gaff tape was quite fetching, a race feel?

Sorry to hear about your Fizza Bob. Where abouts did you do this ?
I was up in Settle at the weekend ~ the roads were a nightmare. LOTS and LOTS of water around. Nearly put the other 1/2's Golf through a wall just outside Malham on Sunday whilst ragging it over the fells She'd have killed me !!
Thankfully got away with lots of **** up the sides as I bounced across the fell and missed the wall.
