Me and me mate got out the back wheels were right in at the top and both rear tyres flat and a big crease in both door shuts and right across the roof.

OMG these are hilarious!!

I wiped out my Orion Injection overtaking some yoof into a fast left hand sweeper in the rain, understeered onto the opposing lane, HGV coming the other way (hair stands up on my arms when I think about it) lifted off and the front end gripped, back end flew round pulling me away from the front of the HGV that was now like 10yards away, went through the armco on the inside, nose down into a ditch, car going sideways nose down in the ditch then it came out flew across the road and went wing to wing with a Rover Coupe Tomcat (almost brand new) Destroyed 40ft or Armco. I actually feel quite ill writing this down
Yoof I was overtaking had floored it. He also skidded on the bend and went straight on through the fence and into the pub carpark.

The icing on the cake was this girl I had a major crush on 2 yrs before was working in the pub and when I staggered out of the car there she was looking out of the top pub window.

Hi! crashed a mk2 ford granada into the barrier at tescos extra, peterborough after being hit by a fiesta, it put me in hospital for 2 hours and made the car two and a half foot shorter, car worth 2500 thousand, parts would have cost 2500 thousand. Engine mount brackets broke, lights gone, indicaters gone, no bumper, no number plate, 1st/3rdand 5th gear did not exist, amp squashed in dashboard, excelerator pedal broke, bonnet two foot shorter, rearview mirror came off windscreen and hit me in the face, both wings crumpled, dent in passenger rear wing with burgandy paint on it (not mine as i had a graphite grey granada).

Skoda passenger wing, indicator, door and damage to the engine as there was a smell of petrol as you drove it, driveshaft bent and other things on that side off car. Neighbour reversed into side off car.

Not crashed any cars, but did come off my bike at 60mph and hit a tree.

I was out riding with a friend who was new to the area. He wanted to know of any good roads, so i took him down one of my fav roads the A1075 in Norfolk. He followed me for a bit, but was on a faster bike and soon got pissed off and overtook. Promptly misjudging the bend, falling off and giving me 2 options, run him over or go straight on. Obviously i took the later option, connecting with the biggest tree on the side of the road Next thing i remember was waking up in hospital 2 days later with a metal thing sticking out of my belly.
I broke the lower part of my back, smashed my pelvis to bits, broke two ribs and had big hole in my lung . My mate on the other hand brusied his leg Some days i really wish i'd just run him over
Still i'm on the mend now and think cars are the way ahead

Damage to the bike wasn't that bad really, chassis and folks anre all still straight. Bike is up for sale if anyone wants a bargain

Had a 'moment' in my TVR Griffith a couple of years ago. Was early one damp March morning, doing 35 down a dual carriageway in lane one, moved to overtake a Golf, on the power a smidge too early...

Rear snapped round, span it into the scenery. Wrapped it round a couple of trees, cat C. Very lucky it was front & rear impacts, as if it had been sideways in I'd not have lived to tell the tale. As it was I was completely unharmed.

The worst bit? I'd agreed to sell the car the day before, and it was due to be my last drive in it!

I wrote my Nova SRI of on the motoway racing a Nova GTE, lad was in the left lane so I went into the right lane and was watching him for some reason looked ahead and I was going that fast I nearly drove into the car infront of me, so I either had to hit him on his rear right side or turn into the central reservation so I just slammed it into the barriers , the car bounced of the rails and then flew back into them cause the wheels had jammed right, I jumped out the passenger side and just ran away I was in total shock, I only lived two mins from the wreckage so I went n got my dad, we went back and there was police everywhere,the bloke who I swerved to avoid only came back so my dad goes n sees him and he says "dont worry I havent came to cause trouble I just want to see if he`s alright, it turns out he only had his five yr old son in the passenger seat, later on it occured to me that if I had hit him on his right corner it would have spun him into oncoming traffic with the passenger side facing the traffic.
Harsh lesson learned from that but I was glad I chose to miss him

here's my tale

you know what it's like, you've been designated driver, it's 1 am, your mates are all pissed, you'r pissed off because they've been in the pub all nigth and you can't have a drink, you've got to get up early in the morning to drive miles and miles away for a family do

and then, one of your mates says "well, you've got a saph, show us what it can do"

and, like a plank, you "show" them what it can do

namely by driving along a country lane at breakneck speeds, rememebring that there are no lights on the approach to this humpbacked bridge, with a blind coner, loking at the speedo and realising it's the wrong side of 100 mph, seeing the glint of armco, and then spalmming the anchors on whilst simultaniously bricking it big time

we went from 110mph to 0 in about 40 feet
some of it may have been down to the braking, but most of it was down to the sied of the car going into the armco and leaving the 2 near side wheels underneath it, while the rest of the car ended up on it's belly in a ditch the hump backed bridge went over and began to rapidly fill with water

and there's more

me, like a plum, thought, "i've damaged the side, it's 4wd, i'll get out of this" and tried to start it up to drive it back

it wouldn't start and it was too dark to find the cutoff switch (have you tried to find one in a 92 spah? even with the panels out in the blinding daylight i couldn't find the thing) so i got out and made the phone call to the AA

who then charged me Ł300 to get the heavy lifting equipment it needed to get the car out and back home

unfortunatly i have no pics of the car or the accident site, but it pulled a huge lump of contrete out of the ground where it bent the armco, and i could only get one of the wheels out, but nly because it was still connected to the strut and the driveshaft, the tca had been torn out of the bottom and the passenger footwell was probably half the size it hsould have been

even the next morning, in the cold light of day, i thought i could fix it, but it was totally and utterly fooked, we couldn't close the doors after we'd opened them and the only thing that was holding the chassis straight were the strut braces front and rear, as soon as i started to loosen these off the whole shell started to groan

luckly, we all survived without any major damage, other than my left knee, which still gives me guy 9 years later (tewaked it pushing the trolley around sainsburys last night and i'm still limping slightly)

moral of the story is, "DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR PISSED UP MATES, LET THEM GET A CAB HOME!!!!! PUBS ARE FOR PROPER DRINKING OR PUB MEETS!!!!"

the end

Interesting read... anyone got anymore stories?

Only one accient for me (not my fault)

Was on the roundabout, going round and out of nowhere the guy drove straight to the roundabout without stopping at the line before the roundabout and my car slammed into his door.

My car's front body was dented sideaway and his door has a big dent - couldn't shut properly.

Turned out that he was taking high meds which made him drowsy and he took the full blame because he wasn't supposed to drive after taking them!

Now thinking about it, we have been lucky... it could be worse...

Anyway, here's the photos... http://www.hypergallery.co.uk/citroenax - very old and crap car. It was my first car. You can't see the damage very much on the photo, but it's fscked under the bonnet - twisted chassis and was told it would cost Ł1,000 for welding job. So it was a write off and it was collected by scrappy (also photos).
