Default S2 ended up in ditch

Well after my little accident on the 30th of june the car got back on the road but as a result i was off work for 10 weeks.

yesterday was my first day back to work
and was having a nice drive home
when i got stuck behind a few cars doing 35-40
in a 60 so started to overtake,
when guess what the lorry that was in the middle
thought it would be a good idear to pull out
when i was beside him
as a result my S2 RST is now a proper write off
and was in the ditch with two wheels off the ground
after going off road for 400 yards
(maybe next time i'll hit the break instead of the clutch )
ALL GOOD FUN!

You're joking right?

From what Ashley said to me, there's a lot that's unusable
Mind you, was gonna break it in 3 weeks before MOT ran out - no way would it pass rot 'r us

Anyway, glas you ok Ashley and sorry for laughing on the phone, it was the way you told it

Doing anything today or tonight? Get ya arse round 'ere!!!

Yes, you could always get the S1 actually worked on ROFL

If you gonna do the S1 properly we are looking at proper alloy rad etc for ya car, I'm sure it's definately going to be a beast

Please someone, ANYONE change his mind on this matter...
He wants to powdercoat the wheels in WHITE (16in Azev A's)

Anyway, here is the S1 in question
