Default Dont you just hate crashing

Dan using old mans loggin.

Was on the way to local mc'donalds to get some food and got cut up on a round about by some prick in an omega , i was forced into the wrong lane and then had the not so nice surprise of a landrover about ten feet ahead of me, slammed anchors on at about 30 and skidded straight into the back of it, luckily for the landy it had a tow bar but this didnt really leave a good impression on the front of my car omega guy drove off and the landy was fine but its pushed my bonnet up, snapped the front bumper and grill, its also pushed the front panel right into the radiator. Could have been much worse because it would have been deamed my fault i guess so good job landy was fine.
The shit thing is though that the road was like glass, mate got out of the car and could hardly stand up it was so slippy.

Oh well feel better for havin a rant on here and now need to continue the search for a new front bumper and bonnet.

By the way this wasnt in my old mans S1 it was in my 98 escort Si but it still makes me so pissed off and not what u need just before christmas.

BTW if any of you lot have or know of a bumper and bonnet goin anywhere preferably in silver then let me know. dandan156@hotmail.com
