We were coming off a roundabout, with our 11 month old baby in the back, when a young lad decided to put his foot down to undertake us, he couldn't handle his car, hit our back passenger side bumper which made us swerve across infront of him, mount the pavement, hit a wall then the car rolled over & stayed on it's roof. We all got out ok though!
He's denying liability.

It's gonna have to be another Esc Cos, I think Glyn would like an Auralis Blue one though, just as unique as his Moondust Silver.

We will be getting a letter to offer buying ours back hopefully this week, we might take it to some shows to break it, i'm sure there will be people who'll want bits off it.

Diahtsu Cherrad, GTTi, 1L Turbo, 145 BHP, he had a smashed headlight from where he hit our back bumper & a dent in his driver's door because as we went infront of him our front wheel hit him. But that's all!

Don't think it's the one you're thinking off. As soon as I got out of the car I wanted to kill him, especially when he turned around & said he didn't give a shit that my baby got out ok, he was just upset about his car, but if he learnt to drive first before trying to race real cars it wouldn't of happened!

Glad you all got out okay!

What a little scumbag!

Such a shame to see an Escort Cosworth looking such a mess, especially a Moondust one as they are very rare.

Gutted!

Probably best not to think about it, especially as you had the youngster in the back.
