Default Sorry People Another s1 Down *pics added*

Feeling mega pissed off thismorning.

I was driving along minding my own busness when a big plastic bottle got blown into the road.

i paniced and swerved to miss it, lost the back end and ended up though a cast iron feince.

the rs is a ttal mess. a compleate right off, i hit the biggest post posabled and its just banannad the car, the roofs all bent, the chassis bent, the windscreen flew out. the police say im luckly to just walk out of it.

pics to follow.

i really fucking loved that car

and i relly miss it already.

i cryed for hours.

Absolute nightmare mate, very hard not to swerve when things fly out infront of you!

Glad you ok, plenty of Series 1's for sale mate, get straight back in the driving seat, it's the best way, trust me!

should have just run over the bottle. sometimes its more dangerous to swerve and avoid something than to just go for the kill

at least you're not hurt tho which is the main thing

That's awful ...you do sound lucky to have got out of that ok though! Probably doesn't make you feel a lot better as you've lost the car but I'm sure family/friends are relieved.
