Default Gutted

Loved this car purely because I always wanted one and said I'd never sell it and I wouldn't have, bought other cars but still kept this one. Some complete arsewipe decided to pull out on me and I had nowhere to go, thank fook it had door airbags, arm and side are sore and bruised but not as much as the car. Had to boot the passenger door open to get out as the smell of fuel and smoke plus oncoming traffic was worrying lol. Loved my RS, but for some reason became more attached to this. Police managed to cause another accident when they arrived!

Police were actually really good apart from jamming on their brakes and causing another shunt! The two I dealt with were really helpful and said they would check the cameras, but all I could really say was it was black or dark blue, genuinely happened that fast and even then proof is very difficult. Cars behind stopped but they were further behind and didn't see exactly what happened. Gave me their names, numbers and a bit of advice and said they would be in touch.

Was just a toy and only kept it for sentimental reasons, so doubt it will be replaced. Had a red M coupe for 6 months, awesome car totally loved it but had to sell it for something bigger and more boring.

Hopefully something, underside is bad and was pissing fuel so had to cobble a repair to get the engine running. Luckily the sump was protected, but everything is shredded and bent, even the exhaust tip!

You can see the back end in this picture, but it's not my cup of tea. Homebuilt 1380 in for finishing work, or rather starting work. Car is a shambles, everything is either loose, wrong or fucked. Looks tacky as to boot, should see the bonnet! Will be here a while lol.

Hey up Eil, long time no speak.

Sorry to read this, but the main thing is you are OK. You can replace metal but not body parts.
