Gutted for you, but at least you are still alive to talk about it....

Did the V8 have to brake for a reason or was he just been a wanker....?

you've got some mechanicals to fit to something, do you want to stay stock or do you want to put into somethng else, like a boat

have a drive of a few escos' and see how they stack up to the sierra, seeing as you've already got a 3 door it may make sense to get just another basic spec saph and bolt it all into that, rather than fork out for a prime saph to play with

nice to see you are in a cheerfull mood now after what was a serious shunt

not read most of the thread after the pics were put up, but i'm assuming you've been to the police and done all that needed to be done and are just waiting for the insurance to pay out yes?

give it a while before you replace the motor though, because you know as soon as you buy something else, the almost perfect car is going to turn up raedy to make you feel gutted

i was driving the other day and some dick in his 1.1 punto over toke me with his chav'ed up car on this blind courner. then all of a sudden just stoped trying to get me to hit him up the ass so i backed off until the country road ended and into a town and followed him untill he stoped, got out my car while he was trying to and wiped his keys out, and called him a wanker and had a go. lucky to miss him as he made me move over to the other side of the road to on coming traffic which lucky for me wasnt any coming. so i toke his keys and chucked them 6houses away..

stupid twats like that in there cars trying to show off and race whatever is about end up causing accidents which kill

really feal for you dude and hope everything gets better for 2009 as 2008 cant get much worse

sorry to see those picture but as already said could have been alot worse....

The V8 driver must know what happened to you... give it a week or two, assuming the police don't find them, and they will probably be bragging about it over a few beers and then you'll probably find out who they were if they were local guys. Somebody will know who they were.
