you have been very lucky - i was when i had my first crunch.
in a mk2 fiesta 1.4s, in fog (going too fast) - missed a turning, and ended up hitting the corner of a farner's drystone wall. front of the car had a 90 degree 'v' in it. neither myself or passenger hurt. i bought another ford a few months later, and have given braking distances a bit more respect since!
