Default OOps...My Tuesday lunchtime crash!

On Tuesday lunchtime on my way back from seeing Lampchop, i was driving allong my fav back road and came round a corner only to find an oil tanker parked on my side of the road and a que of cars waiting to pass it!!!

Slammed on the brakes on my nissan and slewed sideways and into a wall.....did a bit of wall surfing and flipped the car!!!

Not a good day...I came to a rest upside down being held in by my seatbelt and thought so if i press the release button i will hurt my head!!!

Got out of the car ok apart from sore back and cut hands (from crawling through glass). Cops when they eventually turned up were quite helpfull.....Restoring some of my complete loss of faith in the rozzers!

Thought Id show you guys a couple of pics!




Anyone got a cheap runabout for sale lol

Yeah im OK, Car is totalled!!! and was a 3rdparty job so i have lost the cost of the motor so im not best chuffed!!!

Yeah im ok, few scratches and a stiff back, but ok, trawling the ads looking for a new car now though.

Took me ages to find my mobile phone in the car to phone the cops!!!!! There was crap lying everywhere in it!!!

I quickly took the RSOC stickers off the car before they towed it!!!

In light of the fact that you emerged virtually unscathed, id like to say what a fucking neat and tidy crash that is!!!

Hard luck mate, but the way that car is parked is something to be quite proud of

Could have been much much worse though...

Ouch... glad to hear you're ok.

If the lorry was parked on the corner, surely they should have some warning sign just before the corner?

Cheers Marc,

If I had not been in shock at the time i would have remember to have ushered the magic phrase before getting out of the car........."Skillfully abandonded!"

Crashed on the B977 (dyce to fintray).....On of my fav B-roads...ironically......

The Tartan travel rug was kicking about with a load of crap in my boot.... opened the boot when the car was upside down to try and remove the RSOC stickers......I had a copy of Fastford and a demontweeks catalogue.... they were soaked and i wanted to hide them from the fuzz.... lol

KSA-Cossie.....this nissan was parked 3 spots away from your cossie last sunday evening at the meet.....Hope you waved the Pish-san Almera bye bye.... lol
