Default I just can't believe it????????

What a friday i had, coming back form huddersfield to middleton on the motorway my water temp sensor went off limits. Luckly had just come off the motorway at my junction and was on the dual carriage way towards my house. Pulls over and opens the bonnet to see there is a is a large hole in my radiator!! gutted but thought if i get it home i can sort it over the weekend (it was less than two miles two my house). So i asked my friend to drive up with a few litres of water so i could struggle home. It wouldn't move even with the water in?? So rang my friend who has a truck capable of towing with a metal towing arm. So all hooked up we set off, to my horror around 500 yards down the carriage way he said something doesn't feel right???? As we looked in the rear view mirror to see my near concours Fiesta RS Turbo fall off the arm and hit the barrier at about 55 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What a coont!!!

Luckly no one was hurt and the car didn't spin back into the carriage way and not hit or hurt anyone else. But needless to say gutted!!!!!!

Pictures will follow

Not had to much time to check the total damage as i'm working away this week but it's not good. Looked at it to see if there was any serious damage ie. to the chassis etc and to the eye it looks ok, just physical damage.

Looks like i'll need a passenger door, front wing, new alloy-tyre, wishbone, driveshaft, maybe new rack, maybe new bonnet, radiator, headlight, indicator + all thye labour time and effort!!!!

Should have some pictures up soon for you to see

Thanks a lot for your concern

I know what you mean!! and that was at a quick glance!! things are always worse than they seem aswell, so not looking forward to actually seeing what's really wrong with it????
