right guys to clear up a few things!!!

It was pissing down! THe raod was soaked, i hit the first car right on its drivers rear wheel, which i think might have pulled my front left wheel around and it had ripped off the linkage, steering, brake pipes, droplinks etc. the next two cars we actually thought i had missed but it looks like the front wheel (tyre) has rubbed the side of them it was the next two cars that took the brunt of the damage, i hit the fourth pretty much on the corner and squashed it right in and it has slid down onto the next car and sraped all the side of it,

1st car - damage to rear drivers wheel area,

2nd and 3rd - very light damage (we didnt even realise it had hit them)

4th- substanstial corner damage old rover (will be written off)

5th - damage down the right side will need door skin and wing etc.

my car was a 530i sport bmw, when i hit i lost all steering, the wheel litterally spins around forever in any direction as it has been ripped out of the steering rack! So i couldnt avoid the cars, it was like going into a big puddle and getting dragged in further! The cars that were parked were all parked bumper to bumper in the street where they always are. I am insuraned and have about 6 years no claims and have 11 points because i gained them within 4 days of each other 2 1/2 years ago on my bike which turned out to have a faulty speedo! ( dont want to get into it, tried to proove it but cops wouldnt help etc, shit happens, just took em and thought keep my nose clean!) I am quite a sensible driver in my car but i am an experienced biker that is starting to race next year, so yes i am a bit of a nutter on it but not in my car!

hope this helps oh and of course i am going to say i was doing 30 but when the cops asked me what spped i was doing i told them the truth and said 30-40...........hope that helps guys.. x x x x x

thanks for the advice ..............honestly..
