Default Just bounced (hard) off a kerb

Had a couple of women with me earlier tonight, and one wanted to go to the cash machine. So I decided that this would be the ideal time to show off my (lack of) driving skills by misjudging a tight bend in the local Tesco and booting it straight up the kerb

Despite looking like a complete chav twat, I'm worried about what damage I've done, I can'r see anything, but is there anything I should be looking for?

damage done? I should imagine you wont get to take the women for a drive again due to their embaressment, and if you cant see anything I would suggest a visit to the hospital cos you banged your head and lost your eye sight
