My Second Crash... Joy .... Not !

[Jimlad]

Was just driving home from work... was on a slight bend in the road ( not even a harsh corner ).... crash... spun out.. ramped the kerb, smacked a hedge/wall.

Got the car home ok and at least no one else was involved.

Bad news... front bumper destroyed.. both front wings damaged.

That along with the gearbox issues... the car will defo be off the road for a while now... DOH! Peeed of to say the least !!

A combination of things could have caused it.

a/ Tread on the rear tyres are quite low

b/ roads were damp

c/ The whole overboosting thing kicked in without me noticing it.. hence the sudden loss of grip.

Will post piccys up tomorrow... but not happy!

thats bad new news to hear :(

Atleast your OK thats the main thing

[shaf2000]

sh11tttt dude, talk about bad luck :(

[Jimlad]

gonna go take some piccys... just glad I got it home easily enough and I didn't hit anything/anyone else. Felt it going, but there was sod all I could do.

[EarL]

Damn Jim! That's bad luck mate. Sorry to hear about that, but like you said, good to hear you're ok and nobody else was hurt.

[Andybrad]

Sorry to hear that mate, span mine last weekend lucky not to hit anything

[Bibbs]

Sorry to hear it man .. if you are off, you going to bother re-building? Or break and sell ?

[Jimlad]

there's some piccys... tbh I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do at the moment. Might sell the car as it is just now.. not too sure. Would still get anough for a GT4 etc. Or I might just put a cover over it until I get the parts and get it all fixed. That'll be a few months tho.

What do you think I should do ?

PS : both wings are dented etc, the driver one is worse with paint peeling off.

yikes fella :!Removed!:

so sorry for you, at least ur ok tho'. do you reckon its just panels, bumper needed or was it fast enough to have caused chassis problems?

[Chappers]

Ouch ..

[Bibbs]

I'll nab a few bits off you fella if you are breaking ..

Depends on your "off in the summer" plan ..

Reckon it's just the bumper/wings that are damaged. I think it looks worse that what it is... all superficial (sp)

[Roytoner]

Just what you need. But as said as long as your O.K.

[Jimlad]

wings are repairable by the looks of them... bumper... lol. That's another story.

In the space of a few days, this car has seriously peed me off!! ... lol.

1 1/2 years of owning the car... and look how easy I can still kill it!!

[Bibbs]

Maybe it's a sign for a TRD kit ?
