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.

jacko

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

D16PJM

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

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

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.

jacko

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

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

sheeks

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.

jacko

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

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

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.

Hi Dave

iTrader: (1)

Jay,

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

The Sludge

gutted for ya dave mate. You got PM.

Glad you okay.

coco16i

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.

dojj

iTrader: (3)

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

steviecossie

dave gutted for you mate

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