fuck dave, that looks pretty bad!!

2 for 2 now lol.

what speed was the impact? looks quite hefty for that damage.

glad your ok bud

 

fuck, that car looks seriously weak, some speed there i'd guess, probably get shoot down now tho. Had the car been in an accident before possibly? Hope her insurance covers everything ok.

 

Karl,

picked it up on Saturday got it all ready for ND.

i was busy sorting a alternator probem with the car and hardly had time for anyone tbh.

i hope there will be number 3.

Dan,

the dash did pin my legs in,but i struggled and got out.

fortunatly yes,all ok ish.

Davemark,

weird isn't it.

Jacko,

see what happens.

 

there just old and heavy mate cars weeken as metal deteriorates and the strength of the passinger compartment of the older cars is nowhere near as good as the newer ones

 

blimey thats alot of damage does make you wonder about these cars, hope your o.k.

 

can certainly agree with you Jacko after seeing her new car..no-where near as bad as mine.

it does make you think about safety in older cars.

 

my car was worse than dave,s and acured at 60 and i had shit loads of people calling me saying that amount of damage cant happen at 60 but the lad i was overtaking was doing 40 at the time and i just creped past him

 

I'd agree with you mate....

 

fuck it shit happens id rather die in a cossy than live in a vauxhall

 

Blimey Dave

You were SO lucky to get out of there without broken legs at least mate!

I really do hope you get a number 3 and take it easy mate

 

o christ mate thats shocking glad your ok, as for the car i dont know what to say feel so so gutted for ya fella,

 

No safety in old cars - sad but true.

 

glad yer ok
the seat looks like its nearly hanging out the car and theres a right swipe mark on the headrest

 

think of it this way , i smashed my si at 30mph and was totalled , big heavy cars the ford escorts, but a car can be replaced a life cant.

 

looking at the way the seat is broken and me being a bit of an expert when it comes to crashing id say the gear box has smashed or the lugs have come off the block

 

the door got forced open by the emergency services, i was already out ofthe window before they got there.

thats why i have split my head open.

 

Gutted for you dave, at least your ok mate.

 

ok ish.

 

Gutted for ya fella

 

if you blag the missus you can get her to rub all sorts better

 

make sure you put the lottery on Dave as you are a lucky boy

 

Bad news Dave ................at least you walked away to tell the tale mate

 

if you had of been in it trapped and the fire turned up it would of been bye bye roof

 

Seriously gutted for you Dave.

Get the mk2 finnished to make you feel better.

 

How you feeling now Dave?

 

Specially Mini's

 

not to bad thanks,lying here in bed relaxing after a bath.

sore,bit its expected really.

thanks for asking mate.

 

thats the one, bad luck Dave bud.

 

OMFG SHIT! thats bad can't believe you got out of that! and walked away from it....

 

sorry to hear the news

but at least your alive to type it out ..gutted for you via the car

the damage is unreal

 

WTF Dave !

Glad to hear u sound OK or as well as can be expected

Will miss meeting you on track at Donington Sunday or is JC gonna lend you U one of his fleet ?

 

Hi Dave

fook the car atleast your ok seriously thats the mainthing you can always get another escort but you cant replace your life

and to walk away from that your lucky you never broke your legs

i know your gutted about the car after having it all done but your life is more important


marco

 

thanks lads.

Dave,

jc has offered me any of his cars to take on track,aswell as a few ther lads off here.

but i would rather not tbh...just incase.



Marco,

i know i was lucky getting out with only a cut and a few bruises.

just glad she and myself are ok.

see you Sunday.

 

defo see you sunday mate , mrs and the kids are coming with me

ill catch up with you

 

these threads kill me whats wrong with pming the person who started the thread that was removed or a mod for a reason if your life is in danger of exspiering because the thread got removed, theres a idea instead of trying to start a lime lighting hugging thread

 

gutted for ya dave mate. You got PM.

Glad you okay.

 

Zero sympathy from me over this, you admitted in the last thread that you caused the accident because you were speeding, lucky you didn't kill anyone speeding in a built up residential area.


If this had been someone in a maxed up corsa or saxo im sure everyone's responces would have been totally different somehow


Just because its a cossie folk say oh gutted for you mate etc etc, bollocks to that and hope you get dealt with accordingly and lose your licence, one less dangerous knob on the road.

 

wounder m8.

 

fair play though

it's twisted up the same as fitz's cossie from a few years back, the transmission tunnel will have buckled and you don't know whta that will have done to the box, fitz's motor has ha the engine pushed back onto the box (which had broken) and the prop broke the back end of the box and broke the diff

unsurprising really as the escos is really a sierra in drag so it's coming up to a 25 year old design at the very least

 

dave gutted for you mate

really horrible to see an escos like that but at least your ok thats the main thing
