On my way to get some ciggies for my sister I nipped down a side road, and when going round a blind corner all I could see is this blokes eyes wide in shock behind the wheel of his Focus as I manage to stop my car using his as a bumper :( The acutal speed of the Impact was only about 10-15 mph.
Thankfully no one was hurt just some dented metal and broken glass on each of the cars.

The most surprising thing for me was the damage casued by the Airbag in the focus.

Hopefully my car wont be written off as it is repairable but we all know what Insurance companie are like
Any heres some pics of the aftermath.

You didnt waste any time getting your pics up on here lol. Its getting quite a hazard with low-flying scoobs around here latly though ha ha :p

Gutted for you

Ive just read in my local paper, that the road about a mile from me, 2 ppl where involved in a head on collision, both have sadly died

I dont know the circumstances, not racing or anything like that I know that much, but I believe they caught each others headlights (if you know what I mean)

i shall be extra careful down that road in future

Gutted 4 ya M8........

Glad eveyones ok....... and metal mends!!
hope ya back on the road soon.

Daza.. :-(

Wible Im hardly gonna go out for a drive am I??? :)

So who's fault was it?

Not much damage on the body work of the Focus compaired to the Scooby!
Although I'm worried what the air bag does to your head after that window shot!

Hope things are sorted out, such a nice car.

pjhsid

Gutted for you mate.

Start chopping it and sell the parts if the insurance company wont fix it.

True :( lol

Mondeo Airbag gave me a bruised nose, and took some skin off my forehead & cheeks, and damaged my nerves in my wrist (cos I had my hands over the steering wheel when It shot out)

but hey I lived :)

Hi Krade,

Very sorry to this here mate, but glad you are ok.

Cars can be sorted out but people take longer to fix.

All the best.

Jim

:( ouch

least you can replace that front spoiler now

Krade,

Good to see you are ok, shame about the car! :(

I hope you get it sort out quickly whichever way they decide! :)

Cheers for the thoughts guys:), Andy I guess Id best call my Morrettes off then:(

Sorry to see you smart motor in a mess m8 :(

Krade,

:(

Glad you are ok though...

Krade........Sorry to see that mate. I hope that it all turns out OK for you....Muppet.:(

Sisters fags.....Yeah right!.......:D

sh1te! m8!

how did u end up having a head on? who was on the wrong side???



did ur airbag go off (not sure if u have one)

the focus gonna need new dash/airbag/windscreen also, still good 2 hear all involved survived in tact

Should have mentioned it was a single lane road and there are cars parked all the way along the left hand side of the road, I was keeping left as was he came round the corner and not a lot I could do.

10-15 mph??? :rolleyes: And it looks like a head on - (your right and his right colliding). I would hate to see what a higher speed impact would have done!! :eek:

Bad luck mate :(

Glad u are ok though :)

Unlucky mate, good opportunity to get that airdam sorted though ;)

Glad your OK but it doesn't look cheap to fix...

Mike

Gutted for you mate!

Such a nice car as well :(

Andy

:(

Pics look good though :D

Let me know about the insurance on monday. If all goes well, my uncle will be sorting you front out for a face lift :D

So something good could come out of it.

I want my airbox back to! lmao

If you need help, gimme a shout at the weekend. And dont forget the drink sat night if your about

:(


PS.Peter, my g/f told me that I had a missed call from you on my cell. Send me an email to tell what was about.

Blimey, that must be one of the most expensive packets of cigarettes in history!!

Glad you are ok and nobody was hurt

Anna

I know exactly how you feel m8 . Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I have just got my sti version 2 back from the repairers, same speed impact and same area but with a little more damage to both radiators... Cost about 4,500 pounds with lots of new stuff needed. ( thank god for protected no claims!) Just glad it was not a write-off!!

Hope yours will be ok.

Pete - bad news, but at least you are OK.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Cheers
Peter
