Destroyed a bridge with it last week. Just pleased to get out alive.:cry:
Won't look at getting another scoob till next year I reckon. Bruises should of gone down by then:rolleyes:

That's a good effort :lol1:

All seriousness tho glad ur ok bud, looks like it took a fair old whack! Cars an be replaced, a life can't :thumb:

You getting another?

Won't even think about it till next year as never really used it thru the winter anyway.

Fcuking me did you forget that brake peddle was in the middle or did the bridge jump out in front of you :D

i would lock myself in a dark room and cry ....

:( long as your okay!

That will buff out no problems. :D

At least you are alive to tell the tale. :thumb:

+1

glad you got out all ok buddy, at the end of the day it's just metal and can be replaced you cant

Price on gearbox please :D



Seriously though that was a good effort, glad you're ok.

Did you headbutt the interior mirror??

Ouch! Good effort driving it back and parking it up on your drive though!

Hope your ok buddy.

Sh1t the bed!! Glad you got away with just bruises buddy...

Nasty! You are lucky to get away with just bruises.

Not a lot of point asking what you'd take for the brake calipers and discs as they obviously don't work well enough to sell on with a clear conscience! :lol1:

Seriously thought, I'm glad to hear that you came out of it better than your car. :thumb:

Cheers guys. Thought it was my final moments too and amazed I was relatively unscathed. It's only a lump of tin and the insurance have finally offered a decent amount.

pics of the bridge....

So after the insurance pays out don't they want the car or do you have to buy it off them?

That looks nasty.
Glad your ok though, cars come and go.

[IMG]http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...106-WA0002.jpg[/IMG] It's never gonna drive again , engine virtually in two. Gearbox trying to get in cockpit. Chassis proper twisted.

Blymey, lucky you didn't end up further down the ditch

Nearly missed it to the left !

Gutted for you. Shows what a good car scoobs are in a heavy crash though. Your lack of serious injury proves that.

Railway cutting. Disused but still a bit of a drop.

Exactly. Don't think a normal car would withstand that sort of thump.

How did you end up hitting this bridge then? Were you hooning?

Within indicated speed limits. The old bill stated I was going a little bit to fast for the slippery road conditions. Roads were greasy but took me by surprise. The bridge follows a sharp bend.

I'm sure there are plenty of cars on the road where a crash of this weight would have sadly resulted in loss of life. Sorry it's at your expense but i'm actually quite encouraged by this, using my car as a family car.
When i was looking at buying a new car one of the things that swayed it for me to buy an Impreza was an article in Firehouse magazine. The article was about how strong these cars were and how occupants escaped injury where it would normally be fatal. One of the points in the article was how the fire brigade had trouble cutting the roofs off impreza's because of the B pillar strength. Guess this is the Rally heritage.

Ooh, nasty! :eek:

Glad you're not seriously hurt though, the safety devices worked. :thumb:
