Carried away on a stretcher with shoulder damage and a broken arm mate. He's a very lucky boy but TBH I think in terms of damage and injury it looks worse than it was. Still, some classic bending in half of a metal lamp-post, hence the roof damage!!!
Change the profile to.......
The worlds worst liar!! 50mph my ****!! and as if there was ever a rabbit!!!

I think he should answer that, not for me to say really. He's alright though, and won't flinch from his original story so he might be telling the truth. Benefit of the doubt I suppose!!!

As for the story, It all happened one dark night... the wind was howling through the trees, the branches and leaves were rustling, the hedges twitching with wildlife and the early evenibg mist was starting to settle......
anyway cut to the chase... I was driving back to my house in chepstow from caldicot, so decided to do the shortcut and go up and over Dewstow.
As i was approaching the Golfcourse, the road dips away and hangs left.
as i came over the Crest circa 50mph @ night, low & behold there stood my friend the easter bunny. Being the idiot that i was i reacted, in respect of not depriving all the kids of their eggs next year. Mid corner i proceeded to hit the brakes, car slip as was greasy and placed a wheel on the grass.... (BIG NONO......) This in turn put me into a slide on the grass at 50mph (where i tried to accelerate out of slide) and proceeded to sideswipe about 20yards of fence and bush. While sliding sideways, there hidden (or not so hidden) amongst the hedge and fence was the almighty metal lamppost..(Didnt see it coming...GULP) as i was facing perpindicular to the angle of the fence while sliding through it i side swiped the lampost at 50mph. This inturn flattened the car behind my drivers seat, bent the lamp post 90 degrees (A FOOT FROM THE BASE!!!) and put me into a tumble. Apparently flipped at least once but was told 3 times by coppers and landed on the wheels.All i heard was a HUGE BANG as we hit the post & a Bang as we landed on the wheels............................................ .........
I then open my eyes, while slumped forward and look across at my passenger and I quote " Dan i think we just crashed"..
Fortunateley Dan was completeley unscathed... he climbed out the window of the passenger side and proceeded to prize my car door open. I got out the car feeling as if id been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, head spinning like a ******. As we rolled the roof had come down on the back of my head leaving me with a 4" flap of skin waggling in the wind on the back of my head. While walking (a bit wobbily) i looked down and saw my arm dangling by my side. Tried moving it and couldnt shift it a bit.. I was like " Errrrr Dan. I think ive broken or dislocated my arm" 5 minutes later, two cop cars and ambulance are there, I get questioned & breathalised by the police, & i wasnt even in hardly any shock. Felt pretty normal and when my family and friends turned up at the old crash site, i was still laughing & joking. Weird!!
The ambulance guys then put me on a Backboard witha neckbrace & then my arm started to Freaking kill when they moved it.
Got to hospital & they plugged me with Morphine....Wow!!! that stuff is seriously cool.
Turned out i had broken my Humerus about an 2 inches down drom the socket and was a clead break and the bones had slipped down along side each other. They have left it like that, with an inch overlap of the two points where the bone broke. Inturn leaving me with my right arm 1 inch shorter that the other.
Pretty scary ride all in all, but intend to keep my eyes peeled far more in the future for hazards i hadnt even contemplated.
Very lucky 2 be here & a very valuble lesson learned.
Thanks 4 listening dudes.

:cough: Bollocks :cough: only kidding mate.
Like I said though, way too much amateur dramatics and wailing for my liking, just crash the car and drive home after. Arms and stuff can be fixed in the morning!!
